imho - expensive algorithm... i want to see anything more simple...
like gtok() instead es_strsep() + remove_escapes()?
I have adopted my patch to use your neat gtok() function, but I came to
the conclusion that a two-pass algorithm is necessary:
The first pass detects whether a line from
Could somebody please review my patch - if there are no objections (but
I am sure there are some more details that can be improved), I will
write a PR.
I have filed a PR in order to preserve this patch. It can be found here:

The attached patch will allow blanks and tabs for file systems and

For the old fstab style, blanks and tabs are not allowed as delimiters
(as it was in the old implementation).
You need to add '\\' to the delimited list,

Hi,
This very discussion came up in -questions a few months ago (or maybe it was

we'll never be able to mount filesystems that have spaces in

Just FYI, here is how Linux handles this (from fstab(5)):

Hi -hackers,
discussing some modifications for the sysutils/linneighborhood port,
Heiner Eichmann and me came across the following problem:
getfsent(3) will fail, if the name of the file system or the mount point
contains whitespaces, be them escaped or not (file system names with
spaces occur
From the man page
Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on each line are
separated by tabs or spaces.
Clearly, having a space in a filesystem or mount point will violate
this constraint, by causing the trailing part to become the next
field.
Given that this is such a
Do file system names and mount points with whitespaces violate the
specification of fstab? If so, the least thing I'd suggest is the document
this restriction.
Or should one extend 'getfsent' such that is able to cope with those
whitespaces? I am not sure whether this would have any further

No, none of these methods will work.
