35.Sh NAME
36.Nm VOP_BMAP
37.Nd Logical to physical block number conversion
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In sys/param.h
40.In sys/vnode.h
41.Ft int
42.Fn VOP_BMAP "struct vnode *vp" "daddr_t bn" "struct bufobj **bop" "daddr_t *bnp" "int *runp" "int *runb"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This vnode call is used to lookup the physical block number of the file system's
45underlying device where a given logical block of a file is stored.
46Its arguments are:
47.Bl -tag -width type
48.It Fa vp
49The vnode of the file.
50.It Fa bn
51Logical block number within the file identified by
52.Fa vp .
53.It Fa bop
54Return storage for the buffer object associated with the file system's
55underlying device.
56.It Fa bnp
57Return storage for the physical block number.
58.It Fa runp
59Return storage for the number of succeeding logical blocks that may be
60efficiently read at the same time as the requested block.
61This will usually be the number of logical blocks whose physical blocks are
62contiguously allocated.
63However a file system is free to define "efficient" as it see fit.
64.It Fa runb
65Like
66.Fa runp
67but for preceding rather than succeeding blocks.
68.El
69.Pp
70Any of the return arguments may be
71.Dv NULL
72to indicate that the caller does not care about that information.
73.Sh LOCKS
74The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
75.Sh RETURN VALUES
76Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
