38.In sys/param.h
39.In sys/proc.h
40.In sys/resourcevar.h
41.Ft void
42.Fn uihashinit void
43.Ft "struct uidinfo *"
44.Fn uifind "uid_t uid"
45.Ft void
46.Fn uihold "struct uidinfo *uip"

48.Fn uifree "struct uidinfo *uip"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52family of functions
53is used to manage
54.Vt uidinfo
55structures.
56Each
57.Vt uidinfo
58structure maintains per uid resource consumption counts, including the
59process count and socket buffer space usage.
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn uihashinit
63function initializes the
64.Vt uidinfo
65hash table and its mutex.
66This function should only be called during system initialization.
67.Pp
68The
69.Fn uifind
70function looks up and returns the
71.Vt uidinfo
72structure for
73.Fa uid .
74If no
75.Vt uidinfo
76structure exists for
77.Fa uid ,
78a new structure will be allocated and initialized.
79The
80.Nm
81hash mutex is acquired and released.
82.Pp
83The
84.Fn uihold
85function increases the reference count on
86.Fa uip .
87.Fa uip Ns 's
88lock is acquired and released.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn uifree
92function decreases the reference count on
93.Fa uip ,
94and if the count reaches 0
95.Fa uip
96is freed.
97.Fa uip Ns 's
98lock is acquired and release and the uidinfo hash mutex may be
99acquired and released.
100.Sh RETURN VALUES
101.Fn uifind
102returns a pointer to an initialized
103.Vt uidinfo
104structure, and should not fail.
