setup — setup devices and filesystems, mount root filesystem
#include <unistd.h>
int
setup( |
void); |
setup() is called once from
within linux/init/main.c. It
calls initialization functions for devices and filesystems
configured into the kernel and then mounts the root
filesystem.
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.
The calling sequence varied: at some times setup() has had a single argument
void *BIOS and at
other times a single argument int
magic.
