34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VFS_FHTOVP
36.Nd turn an NFS filehandle into a vnode
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/param.h
39.In sys/mount.h
40.In sys/vnode.h
41.Ft int
42.Fn VFS_FHTOVP "struct mount *mp" "struct fid *fhp" "struct vnode **vpp"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn VFS_FHTOVP
46macro is used by the NFS server to turn an NFS filehandle into a vnode.
47.Pp
48The arguments it expects are:
49.Bl -tag -width vpp
50.It Fa mp
51The file system.
52.It Fa fhp
53The filehandle to convert.
54.It Fa vpp
55Return parameter for the new locked vnode.
56.El
57.Pp
58The contents of the filehandle are defined by the file system and are
59not examined by any other part of the system.
60It should contain
61enough information to uniquely identify a file within the file system
62as well as noticing when a file has been removed and the file system
63resources have been reused for a new file.
64For instance, UFS
65file system stores the inode number and inode generation counter in its
66filehandle.
67.Pp
68A call to
69.Fn VFS_FHTOVP
70should generally be preceded by a call to
71.Xr VFS_CHECKEXP 9
72to check if the file is accessible to the client.
73.Sh RETURN VALUES
74The locked vnode for the file will be returned in
75.Fa *vpp .
