Builds a file identifier for a virtual node (v-node).
int vn_fid ( vp, fidp, crp)
struct vnode *vp;
struct fileid *fidp;
struct ucred *crp;
The vn_fid entry point is invoked to build a file identifier for the given v-node. This file identifier must contain sufficient information to find a v-node that represents the same file when it is presented to the vfs_get entry point.
The vn_fid entry point can be called from the process environment only.
0 | Indicates success. |
Nonzero return values are returned from the /usr/include/sys/errno.h file to indicate failure.
