Commit rudimentary libufs manual pages, except for that for 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 sys/param.h

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ufs_disk_close
function closes a disk and frees internal memory related to it.
It does not free the
.Fa disk
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
and
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
functions open a disk specified by
.Fa name
and populate the structure pointed to by
.Fa disk .
The disk is opened read-only.
The specified
.Fa name
Allow libufs(3) functions to operate on a regular file. This makes it possible to 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. Prodded by: kensmith

The
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
function assumes there is a valid superblock and will fail if not,
whereas the
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
function makes no assumptions of that sort.
.Pp
The
.Fn ufs_disk_write
function attempts to re-open a disk as writable if it is not currently.
.Sh ERRORS
The function
.Fn ufs_disk_close
has no failure points.
.Pp
The function
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
may fail for any of the reasons
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
might, as well as for any reason

might.
.Pp
The
