33.Dt VOP_RENAME 9
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VOP_RENAME
36.Nd rename a file
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/param.h
39.In sys/vnode.h
40.Ft int
41.Fn VOP_RENAME "struct vnode *fdvp" "struct vnode *fvp" "struct componentname *fcnp" "struct vnode *tdvp" "struct vnode *tvp" "struct componentname *tcnp"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43This renames a file and possibly changes its parent directory.
44If the destination object exists, it will be removed first.
45.Pp
46Its arguments are:
47.Bl -tag -width fdvp
48.It Fa fdvp
49The vnode of the old parent directory.
50.It Fa fvp
51The vnode of the file to be renamed.
52.It Fa fcnp
53Pathname information about the file's current name.
54.It Fa tdvp
55The vnode of the new parent directory.
56.It Fa tvp
57The vnode of the target file (if it exists).
58.It Fa tcnp
59Pathname information about the file's new name.
60.El
61.Sh LOCKS
62The source directory and file are unlocked but are expected to have their
63ref count bumped on entry.
64The VOP routine is expected to
65.Xr vrele 9
66both prior
67to returning.
68.Pp
69The destination directory and file are locked as well as having their ref
70count bumped.
71The VOP routine is expected to
72.Xr vput 9
73both prior to
74returning.
