41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn cgget ,
44.Fn cgread ,
45and
46.Fn cgread1
47functions provide cylinder group reads for
48.Xr libufs 3
49consumers.
50The
51.Fn cgput ,
52.Fn cgwrite ,
53and
54.Fn cgwrite1
55functions provide cylinder group writes for
56.Xr libufs 3
57consumers.
58.Pp
59The
60.Fn cgget
61function reads the cylinder group specified by
62.Fa cg
63into the buffer pointed to by
64.Fa cgp
65from the filesystem described by the
66.Fa fs
67superblock using the
68.Fa devfd
69file descriptor that references the filesystem disk.
70The
71.Fn cgget
72function is the only cylinder group read function that is safe to use
73in threaded applications.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn cgput
77function writes the cylinder group specified by
78.Va cgp
79to the filesystem described by the
80.Fa fs
81superblock using the
82.Fa devfd
83file descriptor that references the filesystem disk.
84The
85.Fn cgput
86function is the only cylinder group write function that is safe to use
87in threaded applications.
88Note that the
89.Fn cgput
90function needs to be called only if the cylinder group has been
91modified and the on-disk copy needs to be updated.
92.Pp
93The
94.Fn cgread1
95function reads from the cylinder group specified by
96.Fa cg
97into the
98.Va d_cg
99cylinder-group structure in a user-land UFS-disk structure.
100It sets the
101.Va d_lcg
102field to the cylinder group number
103.Fa cg .
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn cgread
107function operates on sequential cylinder groups.
108Calling the
109.Fn cgread
110function is equivalent to calling
111.Fn cgread1
112with a cylinder group specifier equivalent to the value of the current
113.Va d_ccg
114field, and then incrementing the
115.Va d_ccg
116field.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn cgwrite
120function stores on disk the cylinder group held in the
121.Va d_cg
122cylinder-group structure in a user-land UFS-disk structure.
123.Pp
124The
125.Fn cgwrite1
126function provides no additional functionality over the
127.Fn cgwrite
128function as there is only one place that a given cylinder group
129can correctly be written.
130If the caller gets the
131.Fa cg
132parameter wrong, the function fails with the error
133.Er EDOOFUS .
134This function remains only to provide backward compatibility.
135.Sh RETURN VALUES
136The
137.Fn cgread
138function returns 0 if there are no more cylinder groups to read,
1391 if there are more cylinder groups, and \-1 on error.
140The
141.Fn cgread1
142function returns 1 on success and \-1 on error.
143The other functions return 0 on success and \-1 on error.
144.Sh ERRORS
145The
146.Fn cgget ,
147.Fn cgread ,
148and
149.Fn cgread1
150functions may fail and set
151.Va errno
152for any of the errors specified for the library function
153.Xr bread 3 .
154.Pp
155The
156.Fn cgput ,
157.Fn cgwrite ,
158and
159.Fn cgwrite1
160functions may fail and set
161.Va errno
162for any of the errors specified for the library function
163.Xr bwrite 3 .
164Additionally the
165.Fn cgwrite1
166will return the
167.Er EDOOFUS
168error if the cylinder group specified does not match the
169cylinder group that it is requesting to write.
