Doug Rabson fab63cc413 This is the current draft of my filesystem manpages. Some files are
incomplete and some are just placeholders but I wanted to try to get
something at least into 2.2 on the grounds that what I have is a lot
better than nothing.  I also wanted to commit something which documents
the interfaces in 2.2 before I start updating the documentation for 3.0.

This is a definite 2.2 candidate and is also relavent to 2.1 if people
still care about that branch.

.Sh NAME
.Nm VFS_VGET
.Nd convert an inode number to a vnode
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/mount.h>
.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
.Ft int
.Fn VFS_VGET "struct mount *mp" "ino_t ino" "struct vnode **vpp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This converts an inode number into a locked vnode.
.Pp
Its arguments are:
.Bl -tag -width ino
.It Ar mp
The filesystem.
.It Ar ino
The inode representing the file.
.It Ar vpp
Return parameter for the vnode.
.El
.Pp
This is an optional filesystem entrypoint for filesystems which have a
unique id number for every file in the filesystem. It is used
internally by the UFS filesystem and also by the NFSv3 server to
implement the
.Dv READDIRPLUS
nfs call.
.Pp
If the filesystem does not support this call, then it should return
.Dv EOPNOTSUPP .
