  22      -.sp
  23   22  .LP
  24   23  This function is obsolete. The management of removable media by the Volume
  25   24  Management feature, including \fBvold\fR, has been replaced by software that
  26   25  supports the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Programmatic support for HAL is
  27   26  through the HAL APIs, which are documented on the HAL web site. See
  28   27  \fBhal\fR(5). The return value of this function is undefined.
  29   28  .sp
  30   29  .LP
  31   30  \fBmedia_getid()\fR returns the \fIid\fR of a piece of media. Volume management
  32   31  must be running. See \fBvolmgt_running\fR(3VOLMGT).

  50   47  .sp
  51   48  .LP
  52   49  The following example first checks if volume management is running, then checks
  53   50  the volume management name space for \fIpath\fR, and then returns the \fIid\fR
  54   51  for the piece of media.

  73   70  .LP
  74   71  If a program using \fBmedia_getid()\fR does not check whether or not volume
  75   72  management is running, then any \fBNULL\fR return value will be ambiguous, as
  76   73  it could mean that either volume management does not have \fIpath\fR in its
  77   74  name space, or volume management is not running.
