|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <unistd.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn undelete "const char *path"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn undelete
|
|
function attempts to recover the deleted file named by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
Currently, this works only when the named object
|
|
is a whiteout in a union filesystem.
|
|
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
|
|
.Nm undelete
|
|
functionality may be expanded to other filesystems able to recover
|
|
deleted files such as the log-structured filesystem.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
