43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn cgget ,
46.Fn cgread ,
47and
48.Fn cgread1
49functions provide cylinder group reads for
50.Xr libufs 3
51consumers.
52The
53.Fn cgput ,
54.Fn cgwrite ,
55and
56.Fn cgwrite1
57functions provide cylinder group writes for
58.Xr libufs 3
59consumers.
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn cgget
63function reads the cylinder group specified by
64.Fa cg
65into the buffer pointed to by
66.Fa cgp
67from the disk referenced by the user-land UFS-disk structure.
68The
69.Fn cgget
70function is the only cylinder group read function that is safe to use
71in threaded applications.
72.Pp
73The
74.Fn cgput
75function writes the cylinder group specified by
76.Va cgp
77to the disk referenced by the user-land UFS-disk structure.
78The
79.Fn cgput
80function is the only cylinder group write function that is safe to use
81in threaded applications.
82Note that the
83.Fn cgput
84function needs to be called only if the cylinder group has been
85modified and the on-disk copy needs to be updated.
86.Pp
87The
88.Fn cgread1
89function reads from the cylinder group specified by
90.Fa cg
91into the
92.Va d_cg
93cylinder-group structure in a user-land UFS-disk structure.
94It sets the
95.Va d_lcg
96field to the cylinder group number
97.Fa cg .
98.Pp
99The
100.Fn cgread
101function operates on sequential cylinder groups.
102Calling the
103.Fn cgread
104function is equivalent to calling
105.Fn cgread1
106with a cylinder group specifier equivalent to the value of the current
107.Va d_ccg
108field, and then incrementing the
109.Va d_ccg
110field.
111.Pp
112The
113.Fn cgwrite
114function stores on disk the cylinder group held in the
115.Va d_cg
116cylinder-group structure in a user-land UFS-disk structure.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn cgwrite1
120function provides no additional functionality over the
121.Fn cgwrite
122function as there is only one place that a given cylinder group
123can correctly be written.
124If the caller gets the
125.Fa cg
126parameter wrong, the function fails with the error
127.Er EDOOFUS .
128This function remains only to provide backward compatibility.
129.Sh RETURN VALUES
130The
131.Fn cgread
132function returns 0 if there are no more cylinder groups to read,
1331 if there are more cylinder groups, and \-1 on error.
134The
135.Fn cgread1
136function returns 1 on success and \-1 on error.
137The other functions return 0 on success and \-1 on error.
138.Sh ERRORS
139The
140.Fn cgget ,
141.Fn cgread ,
142and
143.Fn cgread1
144functions may fail and set
145.Va errno
146for any of the errors specified for the library function
147.Xr bread 3 .
148.Pp
149The
150.Fn cgput ,
151.Fn cgwrite ,
152and
153.Fn cgwrite1
154functions may fail and set
155.Va errno
156for any of the errors specified for the library function
157.Xr bwrite 3 .
158Additionally the
159.Fn cgwrite1
160will return the
161.Er EDOOFUS
162error if the cylinder group specified does not match the
163cylinder group that it is requesting to write.
