.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The functions described in this page are the vnode-specific file
|
|
descriptor operations.
|
|
They should only be accessed through the opaque function pointers
|
|
in the file entries (see
|
|
.Xr file 9 ) .
|
|
They are described here only for completeness.
|
|
.Sh FUNCTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It Fn vn_closefile "fp" "l"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode close operation.
|
|
The file is described by
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa l
|
|
is the calling lwp.
|
|
.Fn vn_closefile
|
|
simply calls
|
|
.Xr vn_close 9
|
|
with the appropriate arguments.
|
|
.It Fn vn_fcntl "fp" "com" "data" "l"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode
|
|
.Xr fcntl 2
|
|
operation.
|
|
The file is specified by
|
|
.Fa fp .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa l
|
|
is the calling lwp.
|
|
.Fn vn_fcntl
|
|
simply locks the vnode and invokes the vnode operation
|
|
.Xr VOP_FCNTL 9
|
|
with the command
|
|
.Fa com
|
|
and buffer
|
|
.Fa data .
|
|
The vnode is unlocked on return.
|
|
If the operation is successful zero is returned, otherwise an
|
|
appropriate error is returned.
|
|
.It Fn vn_ioctl "fp" "com" "data" "l"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode ioctl operation.
|
|
The file is specified by
|
|
.Fa fp .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa l
|
|
is the calling lwp
|
|
.Fn vn_ioctl
|
|
simply locks the vnode and invokes the vnode operation
|
|
.Xr VOP_IOCTL 9
|
|
with the command
|
|
.Fa com
|
|
and buffer
|
|
.Fa data .
|
|
The vnode is unlocked on return.
|
|
If the operation is successful zero is returned, otherwise an
|
|
appropriate error is returned.
|
|
.It Fn vn_read "fp" "offset" "uio" "cred" "flags"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode read.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
is the file structure, The argument
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
is the offset into the file.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa uio
|
|
is the uio structure describing the memory to read into.
|
|
The caller's credentials are specified in
|
|
.Fa cred .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument can define FOF_UPDATE_OFFSET to update the read position in
|
|
the file.
|
|
If the operation is successful zero is returned, otherwise an
|
|
appropriate error is returned.
|
|
.It Fn vn_poll "fp" "events" "l"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode poll operation.
|
|
.Fn vn_poll
|
|
simply calls
|
|
.Xr VOP_POLL 9
|
|
with the events
|
|
.Fa events
|
|
and the calling lwp
|
|
.Fa l .
|
|
The function returns a bitmask of available events.
|
|
.It Fn vn_statfile "fp" "sb" "l"
|
|
Common code for a stat operation.
|
|
The file descriptor is specified by the argument
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa sb
|
|
is the buffer to return the stat information.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa l
|
|
is the calling lwp.
|
|
.Fn vn_statfile
|
|
basically calls the vnode operation
|
|
.Xr VOP_GETATTR 9
|
|
and transfer the contents of a vattr structure into a struct stat.
|
|
If the operation is successful zero is returned, otherwise an
|
|
appropriate error code is returned.
|
|
.It Fn vn_write "fp" "offset" "uio" "cred" "flags"
|
|
Common code for a file table vnode write.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa fp
|
|
is the file structure, The argument
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
is the offset into the file.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa uio
|
|
is the uio structure describing the memory to read from.
|
|
The caller's credentials are specified in
|
|
.Fa cred .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument can define FOF_UPDATE_OFFSET to update the read position in
|
|
the file.
|
|
If the operation is successful zero is returned, otherwise an
|
|
appropriate error is returned.
