LOOKUP_ONE_LEN(9)						   The Linux VFS						 LOOKUP_ONE_LEN(9)

NAME
       lookup_one_len - filesystem helper to lookup single pathname component

SYNOPSIS
       struct dentry * lookup_one_len(const char * name, struct dentry * base, int len);

ARGUMENTS
       name
	   pathname component to lookup

       base
	   base directory to lookup from

       len
	   maximum length len should be interpreted to

DESCRIPTION
       Note that this routine is purely a helper for filesystem usage and should not be called by generic code. Also note that by using this
       function the nameidata argument is passed to the filesystem methods and a filesystem using this helper needs to be prepared for that.
