setup — setup devices and file systems, mount root file system
#include <unistd.h>
int
setup( |
void); |
setup() is called once from
within linux/init/main.c. It
calls initialization functions for devices and file systems
configured into the kernel and then mounts the root file
system.
No user process may call setup(). Any user process, even a process
with superuser permission, will receive EPERM.
This function is Linux-specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable, or indeed in any programs at all. Since Linux 2.1.121, no such function exists anymore. The calling sequence varied: it has had a single parameter void *BIOS and at other times a single parameter int magic.
This page is part of release 2.79 of the Linux man-pages project. A
description of the project, and information about reporting
bugs, can be found at
