NAME
     getdiskbyname - get disk description by its name

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/disktab.h>

     struct disklabel *
     getdiskbyname(name)
     char *name;

DESCRIPTION
     Getdiskbyname takes a disk name (e.g. rm03) and returns a
     structure describing its geometry information and the stan-
     dard disk partition tables.  Information obtained from the
     disktab(5) file has the following form:

      * 2.11BSD's disklabels are different than 4.4BSD for a couple reasons:
      *
      *   1) D space is precious in the 2.11 kernel.  Many of the fields do
      *      not need to be a 'long' (or even a 'short'), a 'short' (or 'char')
      *      is more than adequate.  If anyone ever ports the FFS to a PDP11
      *      changing the label format will be the least of the problems.
      *
      *   2) There is no need to support a bootblock more than 512 bytes long.
      *      The hardware (disk bootroms) only read the first sector, thus the
      *      label is always at sector 1 (the second half of the first filesystem
      *      block).
      *
      * Almost all of the fields have been retained but with reduced sizes.  This
      * is for future expansion and to ease the porting of the various utilities
      * which use the disklabel structure.  The 2.11 kernel uses very little other
      * than the partition tables.  Indeed only the partition tables are resident
      * in the kernel address space, the actual label block is allocated external to
      * the kernel and mapped in as needed.

BUGS
     This routine is primarily used when the underlying disk
     driver does not support labels.  The other use is for sup-
     plying default information to the disklabel(8) program.
