Subject: (un)mount ramfs from C code

Good morning all!

So I'm using a ramfs for temporary files, thank you whoever designed that,
it works great!

I can mkdir, mount, chmoud, readand write and then umount the thing from the
command line just fine.

What I need now is some method from within my C/C++ code to determine if the
ramfs is mounted, if not, then mount it so I can use it and unmount it when
I'm done, without making a system call.

Can this be done?  Is there any access to mount/unmount from C/C++?
