|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These system calls provide a means to access a file given the file handle
|
|
.Fa fhp .
|
|
As this method bypasses directory access restrictions, these calls are
|
|
restricted to the superuser.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fhopen
|
|
system call
|
|
opens the file referenced by
|
|
.Fa fhp
|
|
for reading and/or writing as specified by the argument
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
and returns the file descriptor to the calling process.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument
|
|
is specified by
|
|
.Em or Ns 'ing
|
|
together the flags used for the
|
|
.Xr open 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
All said flags are valid except for
|
|
.Dv O_CREAT .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fhstat
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fhstatfs
|
|
system calls
|
|
provide the functionality of the
|
|
.Xr fstat 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr fstatfs 2
|
|
calls except that they return information for the file referred to by
|
|
.Fa fhp
|
|
rather than an open file.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn fhopen
|
|
returns the file descriptor for the opened file;
|
|
otherwise the value \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|

|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|

In addition to the errors returned by
|
|
.Xr open 2 ,
|
|
.Xr fstat 2 ,
|
|
and
|
|

|
