.Sh NAME
.Nm VOP_VPTOCNP
.Nd translate a vnode to its component name
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In sys/vnode.h
.Ft int
.Fn VOP_VPTOCNP "struct vnode *vp" "struct vnode **dvp" "char *buf" "int *buflen"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This translates a vnode into its component name, and writes that name to
the head of the buffer specified by
.Fa buf
.Bl -tag -width buflen
.It Fa vp
The vnode to translate.
.It Fa dvp
The vnode of the parent directory of
.Fa vp .
.It Fa buf
The buffer into which to preprend the component name.
.It Fa buflen
The remaining size of the buffer.
.El
.Pp
The default implementation of
.Nm
simply returns ENOENT.
.Sh LOCKS
The vnode should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit. The
parent directory vnode will be unlocked on a successful exit. However, it
will have its hold count incremented.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
.Sh PSEUDOCODE
.Bd -literal
int
vop_vptocnp(struct vnode *vp, struct vnode **dvp, char *buf, int *buflen)
{
int error = 0;
/*
* Translate the vnode to its component name.
*
* Decrement the component name's length from buflen.
*
* Obtain the vnode's parent directory vnode.
*/
...;
/*
* Increment the parent directory's hold count.
*/
vhold(*dvp);
return error;
}
