VOP_ATTRIB(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VOP_ATTRIB(9)NAME
VOP_GETATTR, VOP_SETATTR -- get and set attributes on a file or directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
int
VOP_GETATTR(struct vnode *vp, struct vattr *vap, struct ucred *cred);
int
VOP_SETATTR(struct vnode *vp, struct vattr *vap, struct ucred *cred);
DESCRIPTION
These entry points manipulate various attributes of a file or directory, including file permissions, owner, group, size, access time and mod-
ification time.
The arguments are:
vp The vnode of the file.
vap The attributes of the file.
cred The user credentials of the calling process.
Attributes which are not being modified by VOP_SETATTR() should be set to the value VNOVAL; VATTR_NULL() may be used to clear all the values,
and should generally be used to reset the contents of *vap prior to setting specific values.
LOCKS
VOP_GETATTR() expects the vnode to be locked on entry and will leave the vnode locked on return. The lock type can be either shared or
exclusive.
VOP_SETATTR() expects the vnode to be locked on entry and will leave the vnode locked on return. The lock type must be exclusive.
RETURN VALUES
VOP_GETATTR() returns 0 if it was able to retrieve the attribute data via *vap, otherwise an appropriate error is returned. VOP_SETATTR()
returns zero if the attributes were changed successfully, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
ERRORS
[EPERM] The file is immutable.
[EACCES] The caller does not have permission to modify the file or directory attributes.
[EROFS] The file system is read-only.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
