## Includes

    #include <fs.h>

## Description

A plugin for operations with file systems

## Functions

### bd_fs_init ()

    gboolean
    bd_fs_init (void);

Initializes the plugin. **This function is called automatically by the library's initialization functions.**

### bd_fs_close ()

    void
    bd_fs_close (void);

Cleans up after the plugin. **This function is called automatically by the library's functions that unload it.**

### bd_fs_error_quark ()

    GQuark
    bd_fs_error_quark (void);

[skip]

### bd_fs_wipe ()

    gboolean
    bd_fs_wipe (const gchar *device,
                gboolean all,
                gboolean force,
                GError **error);

#### Parameters

device | the device to wipe signatures from |
all | whether to wipe all (`TRUE`) signatures or just the first (`FALSE`) one |
force | whether to wipe signatures on a mounted `device` |
error | place to store error (if any). | [out][optional]

#### Returns

whether signatures were successfully wiped on `device` or not

Tech category: `BD_FS_TECH_GENERIC`-`BD_FS_TECH_MODE_WIPE`

### bd_fs_clean ()

    bd_fs_clean (const gchar *device,
                 gboolean force,
                 GError **error);

Clean all signatures from `device` . Difference between this and `bd_fs_wipe()` is that this function doesn't return error if `device` is already empty. This will also always remove all signatures from `device` , not only the first one.

#### Parameters

device | the device to clean |
force | whether to wipe signatures on a mounted `device` |
error | place to store error (if any). | [out][optional]

#### Returns

whether `device` was successfully cleaned or not

### bd_fs_get_fstype ()

    gchar *
    bd_fs_get_fstype (const gchar *device,
                      GError **error);

Get first signature on `device` as a string.

#### Parameters

device | the device to probe |
error | place to store error (if any). | [out][optional]

#### Returns

type of filesystem found on `device` , `NULL` in case no signature has been detected or in case of error (`error` is set in this case)

Tech category: `BD_FS_TECH_GENERIC`-`BD_FS_TECH_MODE_QUERY`.

                  GError **error);

Repair filesystem on `device` . This calls other fs repair functions from this plugin based on detected filesystem (e.g. bd_fs_xfs_repair for XFS). This function will return an error for unknown/unsupported filesystems.

Most filesystem tools typically require the filesystem not to be mounted.

Check filesystem on `device` avoiding any modifications or repairs. This calls other fs check functions from this plugin based on detected filesystem (e.g. bd_fs_xfs_check for XFS). This function will return an error for unknown/unsupported filesystems.

Note that depending on a corresponding filesystem type and configured features running this function on a mounted filesystem may result in false errors reported.

#### Parameters

                     GError **error);

Set label for filesystem on `device` . This calls other fs label functions from this plugin based on detected filesystem (e.g. bd_fs_xfs_set_label for XFS). This function will return an error for unknown/unsupported filesystems.

Note: This function will mount `device` for filesystems that need to be mounted to set label (like btrfs).

                       const gchar *label,
                       GError **error);

This calls other fs check label functions from this plugin based on the provided filesystem (e.g. bd_fs_xfs_check_label for XFS). This function will return an error for unknown/unsupported filesystems.

#### Parameters

fstype | the filesystem type to check `label` for |
label | label to check |

Get size for filesystem on `device` . This calls other fs info functions from this plugin based on detected filesystem (e.g. bd_fs_xfs_get_info for XFS). This function will return an error for unknown/unsupported filesystems.

Note: This function will mount `device` for filesystems that need to be mounted to gather information (like btrfs).

                const BDExtraArg **extra,
                GError **error);

This is a helper function for creating filesystems with extra options. This is the same as running a filesystem-specific function like `bd_fs_ext4_mkfs` and manually specifying the extra command line options. `BDFSMkfsOptions` removes the need to specify supported options for selected filesystems, make sure to check whether `fstype` supports these options (see `bd_fs_can_mkfs`) for details.

When specifying additional mkfs options using `extra` , it's caller's responsibility to make sure these options do not conflict with options specified using `options` . Extra options are added after the `options` and there are no additional checks for duplicate and/or conflicting options.

#### Parameters

device | the device to create the new filesystem on |
fstype | name of the filesystem to create (e.g. "ext4") |
options | additional options like label or UUID for the filesystem |
extra | extra mkfs options not provided in `options` . | [nullable][array zero-terminated=1]
error | place to store error (if any). | [out][optional]
