34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VFS_FHTOVP
36.Nd turn an NFS filehandle into a vnode
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
39.Fd #include <sys/mount.h>
40.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
41.Ft int
42.Fn VFS_FHTOVP "struct mount *mp" "struct fid *fhp" "struct mbuf  *nam" "struct vnode **vpp" "int *exflagsp" "struct ucred **credanonp"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This is used by the NFS server to turn an NFS filehandle into a vnode.
45.Pp
46Its arguments are:
47.Bl -tag -width credanonp
48.It Ar mp
49The filesystem.
50.It Ar fhp
51The filehandle to convert.
52.It Ar nam
53An mbuf containing the network address of the client.
54.It Ar vpp
55Return parameter for the new locked vnode.
56.It Ar exflagsp
57Return parameter for the export flags for this client.
58.It Ar credanonp
59Return parameter for the anonymous credentials for this client.
60.El
61.Pp
62The contents of the filehandle are defined by the filesystem and are
63not examined by any other part of the system.  It should contain
64enough information to uniquely identify a file within the filesystem
65as well as noticing when a file has been removed and the filesystem
66resources have been reused for a new file.  For instance, UFS
67filesystem stores the inode number and inode generation counter in its
68filehandle.
69.Pp
70The filesystem should call
71.Xr vfs_export_lookup 9
72with the address of an appropriate
73.Dv netexport
74structure and the address of the client,
75.Fa nam ,
76to verify that the client can access this filesystem.
77.Sh RETURN VALUES
78The locked vnode for the file will be returned in
79.Fa *vpp .
80The export flags and anonymous credentials specific to the client
81(returned by
82.Xr vfs_export_lookup 9 )
83will be returned in
84.Fa *exflagsp
85and
86.Fa *credanonp .
