GETIOBUF(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual GETIOBUF(9)NAME
getiobuf, putiobuf -- I/O descriptor allocation interface
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/buf.h>
struct buf *
getiobuf(struct vnode *vp, bool waitok);
void
putiobuf(struct buf *bp);
DESCRIPTION
getiobuf() allocates a buf structure.
vp The vnode to which the allocated buffer will be associated. This can be NULL.
waitok If true, getiobuf can sleep until enough memory is available. Otherwise, it returns NULL immediately if not enough memory is avail-
able.
Note that the allocated buffer doesn't belong to the buffer cache. To free it, putiobuf() should be used. brelse() should not be used on
it.
putiobuf() frees bp, which should be a buffer allocated with getiobuf().

VOP_VPTOCNP(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VOP_VPTOCNP(9)NAME
VOP_VPTOCNP -- translate a vnode to its component name
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
int
VOP_VPTOCNP(struct vnode *vp, struct vnode **dvp, char *buf, int *buflen);
DESCRIPTION
This translates a vnode into its component name, and writes that name to the head of the buffer specified by buf
vp The vnode to translate.
dvp The vnode of the parent directory of vp.
buf The buffer into which to preprend the component name.
buflen The remaining size of the buffer.
The default implementation of VOP_VPTOCNP scans through vp's parent directory looking for a dirent with a matching file number. If vp is not
a directory, then VOP_VPTOCNP returns ENOENT.
LOCKS
The vnode should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit. The parent directory vnode will be unlocked on a successful exit.
However, it will have its hold count incremented.
RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
ERRORS
[ENOMEM] The buffer was not large enough to hold the vnode's component name.
[ENOENT] The vnode was not found on the file system.

This interface is a work in progress.
HISTORY
The function VOP_VPTOCNP appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.

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
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm

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. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

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 ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
