NAME
walk - descend a directory hierarchy
SYNOPSIS
Twalk tag[2] fid[2] name[28] Rwalk tag[2] fid[2] qid[8]
DESCRIPTION
The walk request looks for the file name in the directory represented by fid. For the walk to succeed, the file identified by fid must be a directory, and the implied user of the request must have permission to search the directory (see intro(5)). After a successful walk, fid represents the specified file. The qid for the new file is returned with the walk reply message. A walk of the name .. in the root directory of a server is a no-op.
ENTRY POINTS
A call to chdir(2) causes a walk. One or more walk messages may be generated by any of the following calls, which evaluate file names: bind, create, exec, mount, open, remove, stat, unmount, wstat. The file name element . (dot) is interpreted locally and is not transmit- ted in walk messages. WALK(5)
