NAME

Unix::AutomountFile - Perl interface to automounter files

SYNOPSIS

  use Unix::AutomountFile;

  $am = new Unix::AutomountFile, "/etc/auto_home";  $am->automount("newuser", "fileserver:/export/home/&");  $am->options("newuser", "-rw,nosuid");  $am->delete("olduser");  $am->commit();  undef $am;

DESCRIPTION

The Unix::AutomountFile module provides an abstract interface to automounterfiles. It automatically handles file locking, getting colons and commas inthe right places, and all the other niggling details. WARNING: This module isprobably Solaris specific at this point. I have only looked at Solaris formatautomount files thus far. Also, you cannot edit /etc/auto_master with thismodule, since it is in a different format than the other automount files.

METHODS

This method will add additional servers to an existing automount point. Itreturns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

automount( MOUNT [,@SERVERS] )

This method can add, modify, or return information about a mount point.Supplied with a single mount parameter, it will return a list of the serverentries for that mount point, or undef if no such mount exists. If you supplymore than one parameter, the mount point will be created or modified if italready exists. The list is also returned to you in this case.
