.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn getfh
|
|
returns a file handle for the specified file or directory
|
|
in the file handle pointed to by
|
|
.Fa fhp .
|
|
The variable pointed to by
|
|
.Fa fh_size
|
|
has to be initialized to the memory allocated for the variable sized file
|
|
handle.
|
|
On return the value will be replaced by the actual size
|
|
needed (which will vary depending on the file system the path is on).
|
|
This system call is restricted to the superuser.
|
|
To query the necessary size for the filehandle, a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer may
|
|
be passed as
|
|
.Fa fhp ,
|
|
and the value pointed to by
|
|
.Fa fh_size
|
|
should be initialized to zero.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
