31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm vfs_getvfs
34.Nd "returns a mount point given its file system identifier"
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/param.h
37.In sys/mount.h
38.Ft "struct mount *"
39.Fn vfs_getvfs "fsid_t *fsid"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn vfs_getvfs
43function returns the mount point structure for a file system given its file system
44identifier.
45The file system ID should have been allocated by calling
46.Xr vfs_getnewfsid 9 ;
47otherwise, it will not be found.
48.Pp
49A major user of
50.Fn vfs_getvfs
51is NFS, which uses the
52.Vt fsid
53as part of file handles in order to determine the
54file system a given RPC is for.
55If
56.Fn vfs_getvfs
57fails to find the mount point related to
58.Fa fsid ,
59the file system is considered stale.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61If
62.Fa fsid
63is found, the mount point for the ID is returned; otherwise,
64.Dv NULL
65is returned.
66.Sh PSEUDOCODE
67.Bd -literal
68if ((mp = vfs_getvfs(&fhp->fh_fsid)) == NULL) {
69	error = ESTALE;
70	goto out;
