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/vnode.h>
41.Ft int
42.Fn VOP_LOCK "struct vnode *vp"
43.Ft int
44.Fn VOP_UNLOCK "struct vnode *vp"
45.Ft int
46.Fn VOP_ISLOCKED "struct vnode *vp"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Pp
49The arguments are:
50.Bl -tag -width vp
51.It Ar vp
52the vnode being locked or unlocked
53.El
54.Pp
55These calls are used to serialize access to the filesystem, for
56instance to prevent two writes to the same file from happening at the
57same time.
58.Sh RETURN VALUES
59Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
60.Sh PSEUDOCODE
61.Bd -literal

63    int von_flag;
