NAME
     fstypgetattr - get file system attributes

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lfstyp  -lnvpair  [ library... ]
     #include 
     #include 

     int fstypgetattr(fstyphandlet handle, nvlistt **attrp);


PARAMETERS
     handle    Opaque handle returned by fstypident(3FSTYP).


     attrp     Address to which the name-pair list is returned.


DESCRIPTION
     The fstypgetattr() function returns a name-value pair list
     of  various  attributes  for an identified file system. This
     function can be called  only  after  a  successful  call  to
     fstypident().


     Each file system has its own set of attributes. The  follow-
     ing attributes are generic and are returned when appropriate
     for a particular file system type:

     genclean (DATATYPEBOLEANVALUE)

         Attribute for which true and false values are allowed. A
         false value is returned if the file system is damaged or
         if the file system is  not  cleanly  unmounted.  In  the
         latter case, fsck(1M) is required before the file system
         can be mounted.


     genguid (DATATYPESTRING)

         Globally unique string identifier used to establish  the
         identity of the file system.


     genversion (DATATYPESTRING)

         String that specifes the file system version.


     genvolumelabel (DATATYPESTRING)
