39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In sys/param.h
41.In sys/proc.h
42.In sys/resourcevar.h
43.Ft void
44.Fn uihashinit void
45.Ft "struct uidinfo *"
46.Fn uifind "uid_t uid"
47.Ft void
48.Fn uihold "struct uidinfo *uip"
49.Ft void
50.Fn uifree "struct uidinfo *uip"
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54family of functions
55is used to manage
56.Vt uidinfo
57structures.
58Each
59.Vt uidinfo
60structure maintains per uid resource consumption counts, including the
61process count and socket buffer space usage.
62.Pp
63The
64.Fn uihashinit
65function initializes the
66.Vt uidinfo
67hash table and its mutex.
68This function should only be called during system initialization.
69.Pp
70The
71.Fn uifind
72function looks up and returns the
73.Vt uidinfo
74structure for
75.Fa uid .
76If no
77.Vt uidinfo
78structure exists for
79.Fa uid ,
80a new structure will be allocated and initialized.
81The
82.Nm
83hash mutex is acquired and released.
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn uihold
87function increases the reference count on
88.Fa uip .
89.Fa uip Ns 's
90lock is acquired and released.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn uifree
94function decreases the reference count on
95.Fa uip ,
96and if the count reaches 0
97.Fa uip
98is freed.
99.Fa uip Ns 's
100lock is acquired and release and the uidinfo hash mutex may be
101acquired and released.
102.Sh RETURN VALUES
103.Fn uifind
104returns a pointer to an initialized
105.Vt uidinfo
106structure, and should not fail.
