34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VOP_LOCK ,
36.Nm VOP_UNLOCK ,
37.Nm VOP_ISLOCKED
38.Nd serialize access to a vnode
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
41.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
42.Ft int
43.Fn VOP_LOCK "struct vnode *vp" "int flags" "struct proc *p"
44.Ft int
45.Fn VOP_UNLOCK "struct vnode *vp" "int flags" "struct proc *p"
46.Ft int
47.Fn VOP_ISLOCKED "struct vnode *vp"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Pp
50The arguments are:
51.Bl -tag -width vp
52.It Ar vp
53the vnode being locked or unlocked
54.El
55.Pp
56These calls are used to serialize access to the filesystem, for
57instance to prevent two writes to the same file from happening at the
58same time.
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
61.Sh PSEUDOCODE
62.Bd -literal
