BUF_ISLOCKED(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual BUF_ISLOCKED(9)NAME
BUF_ISLOCKED -- returns the state of the lock linked to the buffer
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <sys/bio.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
int
BUF_ISLOCKED(struct buf *bp);
DESCRIPTION
The BUF_ISLOCKED() function returns the status of the lock linked to the buffer in relation to curthread.
It can return:
LK_EXCLUSIVE An exclusive lock is held by curthread.
LK_EXCLOTHER An exclusive lock is held by someone other than curthread.
LK_SHARED A shared lock is held.
0 The lock is not held by anyone.

VOP_LOCK(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VOP_LOCK(9)NAME
VOP_LOCK, VOP_UNLOCK, VOP_ISLOCKED, vn_lock -- serialize access to a vnode
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/lock.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
int
VOP_LOCK(struct vnode *vp, int flags);
int
VOP_UNLOCK(struct vnode *vp, int flags);
int
VOP_ISLOCKED(struct vnode *vp);
int
vn_lock(struct vnode *vp, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
These calls are used to serialize access to the file system, such as to prevent two writes to the same file from happening at the same time.
The arguments are:
vp The vnode being locked or unlocked.
flags One of the lock request types:
LK_SHARED Shared lock.
LK_EXCLUSIVE Exclusive lock.
LK_UPGRADE Shared-to-exclusive upgrade.
LK_DOWNGRADE Exclusive-to-shared downgrade.
LK_RELEASE Release any type of lock.
LK_DRAIN Wait for all lock activity to end.
The lock type may be or'ed with these lock flags:
LK_NOWAIT Do not sleep to wait for lock.
LK_SLEEPFAIL Sleep, then return failure.
LK_CANRECURSE Allow recursive exclusive lock.
LK_NOWITNESS Instruct witness(4) to ignore this instance.
The lock type may be or'ed with these control flags:
LK_INTERLOCK Specify when the caller already has a simple lock (VOP_LOCK() will unlock the simple lock after getting the
lock).
LK_RETRY Retry until locked.
Kernel code should use vn_lock() to lock a vnode rather than calling VOP_LOCK() directly. vn_lock() also does not want a thread spec-
ified as argument but it assumes curthread to be used.
RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.

Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
