|
|
|
.Vt struct dirent
|
2003-10-23 02:11:14 +00:00
|
|
|
structures.
|
|
|
|
|
If the on-disc data structures differ from this then they
|
1997-03-03 18:01:01 +00:00
|
|
|
should be translated.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh LOCKS
|
|
|
|
|
The directory should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit.
|
|
|

If this is called from the NFS server, the extra arguments
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa eofflag ,
|

.Fa ncookies
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa cookies
|
|
|
|
|
are given.
|
|
|
|
|
The value of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa *eofflag
|
|
|
|
|
should be set to TRUE if the end of the directory is reached while
|
|
|
|
|
reading.
|
|
|
|
|
The directory seek cookies are returned to the NFS client and may be used
|
|
|
|
|
later to restart a directory read part way through the directory.
|
2003-10-23 02:11:14 +00:00
|
|
|
There should be one cookie returned per directory entry.
|
|
|
|
|
The value of
|
1997-03-03 18:01:01 +00:00
|
|
|
the cookie should be the offset within the directory where the on-disc
|
|
|
|
|
version of the appropriate directory entry starts.
|
|
|
|
|
Memory for the cookies should be allocated using:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
|
|
|
...;
|
|
|
|
|
*ncookies = number of entries read;
|
2010-12-19 18:07:10 +00:00
|
|
|
*cookies = malloc(*ncookies * sizeof(u_long), M_TEMP, M_WAITOK);
