VOP_OPEN(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VOP_OPEN(9)NAME
VOP_OPEN, VOP_CLOSE -- open or close a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
int
VOP_OPEN(struct vnode *vp, int mode, struct ucred *cred, struct thread *td, struct file *fp);
int
VOP_CLOSE(struct vnode *vp, int mode, struct ucred *cred, struct thread *td);
DESCRIPTION
The VOP_OPEN() entry point is called before a file is accessed by a process and the VOP_CLOSE() entry point is called after a file is fin-
ished with by the process.
The arguments are:
vp The vnode of the file.
mode The access mode required by the calling process.
cred The caller's credentials.
td The thread which is accessing the file.
fp The file being opened.
Pointer to the file fp is useful for file systems which require such information, e.g., fdescfs(5). Use 'NULL' as fp argument to VOP_OPEN()
for in-kernel opens.
The access mode is a set of flags, including FREAD, FWRITE, O_NONBLOCK, O_APPEND.
LOCKS
VOP_OPEN() expects vp to be locked on entry and will leave it locked on return.
VOP_CLOSE() expects at least a reference to be associated with the vnode and does not care whether the vnode is locked or not. The lock and
reference state is left unchanged on return. Note that vn_close expects an unlocked, referenced vnode and will dereference the vnode prior
to returning.
RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.

Introduction
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.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
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)

Morning All
So, I am starting looking into the world of UNIX for a new job (luckily not my primary function!) and I am looking to get stared. Like anything I seem to learn best by trying things out first in an environment but I have a key question:
