Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn undelete "const char *path"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn undelete
|
|
system call attempts to recover the deleted file named by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
Currently, this works only when the named object
|
|
is a whiteout in a union file system.
|
|
The system call removes the whiteout causing
|
|
any objects in a lower layer of the
|
|
union stack to become visible once more.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Eventually, the
|
|
.Fn undelete
|
|
functionality may be expanded to other file systems able to recover
|
|
deleted files such as the log-structured file system.
