33.Dt VOP_RDWR 9
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VOP_READ ,
36.Nm VOP_WRITE
37.Nd read or write a file
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In sys/param.h
40.In sys/vnode.h
41.In sys/uio.h
42.Ft int
43.Fn VOP_READ "struct vnode *vp" "struct uio *uio" "int ioflag" "struct ucred *cred"
44.Ft int
45.Fn VOP_WRITE "struct vnode *vp" "struct uio *uio" "int ioflag" "struct ucred *cred"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47These entry points read or write the contents of a file
48.Pp
49The arguments are:
50.Bl -tag -width ioflag
51.It Fa vp
52The vnode of the file.
53.It Fa uio
54The location of the data to be read or written.
55.It Fa ioflag
56Various flags.
57.It Fa cnp
58The credentials of the caller.
59.El
60.Pp
61The
62.Fa ioflag
63argument is used to give directives and hints to the file system.
64When attempting a read, the high 16 bits are used to provide a
65read-ahead hint (in units of file system blocks) that the file system
66should attempt.
67The low 16 bits are a bit mask which can contain
68the following flags:
69.Bl -tag -width ".Dv IO_NODELOCKED"
70.It Dv IO_UNIT
71Do I/O as atomic unit.
72.It Dv IO_APPEND
73Append write to end.
74.It Dv IO_SYNC
75Do I/O synchronously.
76.It Dv IO_NODELOCKED
77Underlying node already locked.
78.It Dv IO_NDELAY
79.Dv FNDELAY
80flag set in file table.
81.It Dv IO_VMIO
82Data already in VMIO space.
83.El
84.Sh LOCKS
85The file should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit.
86.Sh RETURN VALUES
87Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
