CLWALK(5)							File Formats Manual							 CLWALK(5)

NAME
       clwalk - clone, then search a directory, and change to a file within it

SYNOPSIS
       Tclwalk	tag[2] fid[2] newfid[2] name[28]
       Rclwalk	tag[2] fid[2] qid[8]

DESCRIPTION
       The clwalk request is a combination of a clone request (see clone(5)) followed by a walk request (see walk(5)) on the new fid.  If the walk
       fails, there is an implicit clunk of newfid.

ENTRY POINTS
       The clwalk message is an optimization for use on low-speed lines; it is not generated by the kernel.  The cfs(4) cached file system  gener-
       ates it as a side-effect of any system call that interprets a file name.
