getino(3)/putino(3), inode.c has been reworked in Perforce to the point where a manual page may not be accurate. Certainly putino(3) has not even been merged back yet. These will need a lot of improvement for most applications, but they document the API enough to get someone on their feet, most likely. The best documentation still exists in the form of libufs(3) consumers in the base system.

.In ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library and the functions it provides are used for implementing
|
|
utilities which need to access a UFS filesystem at a low level from
|
|
userland.
|
|
Facilities provided are used to implement utilities such as
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr dumpfs 8 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library is designed to be simple, and provide functions that are
|
|
traditionally useful to have.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A disk is represented as the type
|
|
.Dq struct uufsd
|
|
as defined in
|
|
.Pa libufs.h .
|
|
The structure is filled out, operations are performed, and the disk
|
|
is closed.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Functions provided by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
return -1 in every functional error situation.
|
|
They also set the
|
|
.Fa d_error
|
|
field to a string describing the error.
