use almost anything that uses libufs(3) against a file as an unprivileged user, e.g.
tunefs(8) and dumpfs(8) against a makefs(8)-created image.

prefix) as an argument and mount point path. At the end it has to find
device name file system is stored on, which means when mount point path is
given, it tries to look into /etc/fstab and find special device
corresponding to the given mount point. This is not perfect, because it
doesn't handle the case when file system is mounted by hand and mount point
is given as an argument.
I found this problem while trying to use snapinfo(8), which passes mount
points to the ufs_disk_fillout(3) function, but I had file system mounted
manually, so snapinfo(8) was exiting with the error below:
ufs_disk_fillout: No such file or directory
I modified libufs(3) to handle those arguments (the order is important):
1. special device with /dev/ prefix
2. special device without /dev/ prefix
3. mount point listed in /etc/fstab, directory exists
4. mount point listed in /etc/fstab, directory doesn't exist
5. mount point of a file system mounted by hand
new one, and do not fall back to the RO fd. There was a bug here
in that the RO fd was never closed, if the RDRW open succeeded, but
this code is bogus anyway, and it breaks newfs of floppies, at least
for me, due to "Device busy." Anything that wants to fall back is
doing something significantly odd that it should have some more complex
code on its end.
(unless someone tries to use libufs support functions without using
_fillout or _ctor to construct a uufsd.)

the build. It is here to compartmentalise functionality currently duplicated
in many notable programs in the base system. It currently handles block
reads and writes, as well as reading and writing of the filesystem superblock,
and the reading/lookup of inode data. It supports both UFS and UFS2. I
will be maintaining it, and porting programs to use it, however for now, it
is simply being built as part of world.
