.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn bwrite
|
|
functions provide a block read and write API for
|
|
.Xr libufs 3
|
|
consumers.
|
|
They operate on a userland UFS disk structure, and perform the read
|
|
and write at a given block address, which uses the current
|
|
.Fa d_bsize
|
|
value of the structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn bwrite
|
|
functions return the amount read or written, or -1 in case of any error,
|
|
including short read.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn bread
|
|
may fail and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
for any of the errors specified for the library functions
|
|
.Xr ufs_disk_write 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr pread 2 .
|
|
Additionally, it may follow the
|
|
.Xr libufs 3
|
|
error methodologies in situations where the amount of data read
|
|
is not equal to the amount requested, or in case of device error.
