COREDUMP_WRITE(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual COREDUMP_WRITE(9)NAME
coredump_write -- common coredump write routine
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/signalvar.h>
int
coredump_write(void *iocookie, enum uio_seg segflg, const void *data, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
coredump_write() is used by both machine-dependent and machine-independent components to write information to a coredump. iocookie is an
opaque pointer that was supplied to the caller of coredump_write(). segflg indicates where the data is located, system space or user space.
data points to the information to be written to the coredump. len is the amount of data to be written.
coredump_write() returns 0 on success and an appropriate error code on failure.
CODE REFERENCES
Process core dumps are initiated within the file sys/kern/kern_sig.c. Process core dumps for ELF NetBSD binaries are performed within the
files sys/kern/core_elf32.c or sys/kern/core_elf64.c. Process core dumps for other NetBSD binaries are performed within the file
sys/kern/core_netbsd.c.

VFS_HOOKS(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VFS_HOOKS(9)NAME
vfs_hooks, vfs_hooks_unmount -- VFS hooks interface
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>
void
vfs_hooks_unmount(struct mount *mp);
DESCRIPTION
The VFS hooks interface provides a way for different kernel subsystems to attach custom functions to specific VFS operations. This enforces
code separation by keeping the VFS's core sources uncluttered and makes all subsystem functionality reside in a single place. As an example,
this interface is used by the NFS server code to automatically handle the exports list for each mount point.
Hooks are described by a struct vfs_hooks object, as seen below:
struct vfs_hooks {
int (*vh_unmount)(struct mount *);
};
For simplicity, each field is named after the VFS operation it refers to. The purpose of each member function, alongside some important
notes, is shown below:
vh_unmount(mp)
This hook is executed during the unmount process of a file system.
For more information about the purpose of each operation, see vfsops(9). Note that any of these fields may be a null pointer.
After the definition of a struct vfs_hooks object, the kernel has to add it to the vfs_hooks link set using the VFS_HOOKS_ATTACH(struct
vfs_hooks *) macro.
Please note that this interface is incomplete on purpose to keep it in its smallest possible size (i.e., do not provide a hook that is not
used). If you feel the need to hook a routine to a VFS operation that is not yet supported by this interface, just add it to the files
described in CODE REFERENCES.
FUNCTIONS
The following functions are provided to the VFS code to run the hooked functions:
vfs_hooks_unmount(mp)
Runs all hooks for the VFS unmount operation. Given that these operations shall not fail, it returns void.
CODE REFERENCES
The VFS hooks interface is implemented within the files sys/kern/vfs_hooks.c and sys/sys/mount.h.
SEE ALSO intro(9), vfs(9), vfsops(9)HISTORY
The VFS hooks interface appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

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:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

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'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
