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.

Hi folks yet another bizarre piece of code that is Apple OSX 10.12.x to at least 10.14.1 specific.

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)
