Manual Pages  — VFS_MOUNTEDFROM

vfs_mountedfrom – sets the mounted from name for a mount

SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION AUTHORS

#include <sys/param.h>

#include <sys/mount.h>

void
vfs_mountedfrom(struct mount *mp, const char *from);

The vfs_mountedfrom() function sets the mounted from name for a mount. This value is used by statfs(2) to fill in f_mntfromname.

In most cases from is the device that contains the file system, but in the case of a pseudo file system it could be a descriptive name like "devfs" or "procfs".
