.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm VOP_READDIR
|
|
.Nd read contents of a directory
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/dirent.h
|
|
.In sys/vnode.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_READDIR "struct vnode *vp" "struct uio *uio" "struct ucred *cred" "int *eofflag" "int *ncookies" "u_long **cookies"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Read directory entries.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ncookies
|
|
.It Fa vp
|
|
The vnode of the directory.
|
|
.It Fa uio
|
|
Where to read the directory contents.
|
|
.It Fa cred
|
|
The caller's credentials.
|
|
.It Fa eofflag
|
|
Return end of file status
|
|
.Dv ( NULL
|
|
if not wanted).
|
|
.It Fa ncookies
|
|
Number of directory cookies generated for NFS
|
|
.Dv ( NULL
|
|
if not wanted).
|
|
.It Fa cookies
|
|
Directory seek cookies generated for NFS
|
|
.Dv ( NULL
|
|
if not wanted).
|
|
.El
|
|
The directory contents are read into
|
|
.Vt struct dirent
|
|
structures.
|
|
If the on-disc data structures differ from this then they
|
|
should be translated.
|
|
.Sh LOCKS
|
|
The directory should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this is called from the NFS server, the extra arguments
|
|
.Fa eofflag ,
|
|
.Fa ncookies
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa cookies
|
|
are given.
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa *eofflag
|
|
should be set to TRUE if the end of the directory is reached while
|
|
reading.
|
|
The directory seek cookies are returned to the NFS client and may be used
|
|
later to restart a directory read part way through the directory.
|
|
There should be one cookie returned per directory entry.
|
|
The value of
|
|
the cookie should be the offset within the directory where the on-disc
|
|
version of the appropriate directory entry starts.
|
|
Memory for the cookies should be allocated using:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
...;
|
|
*ncookies = number of entries read;
|
|
*cookies = (u_int*)#
|
|
malloc(*ncookies * sizeof(u_int), M_TEMP, M_WAITOK);
|
|
.Ed
|
|

|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
