.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Em IMPORTANT NOTE!
|
|
This document describes interfaces which are not yet guaranteed to be
|
|
stable.
|
|
In case you update your system sources, please recompile everything
|
|
and fix complation errors.
|
|
If your sources are out-of-sync, incorrect operation may result.
|
|
The interfaces in this document will most likely be hugely simplified
|
|
in later versions or made transparent to the implementation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These routines are used inform the kernel that any information it might
|
|
have cached is no longer valid.
|
|
Currently only two are supported.
|
|
.Fn puffs_inval_namecache_dir
|
|
invalidates the name cache for a given directory.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Va cookie
|
|
should describe an existing and valid directory cookie for the file
|
|
system.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
.Fn puffs_inval_namecache_all
|
|
invalidates the name cache for the entire file system
|
|
(this routine might go away).
