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