getnewvnode (const char *tag struct mount *mp vop_t **vops struct vnode **vpp);
DESCRIPTION
The
getnewvnode ();
function initializes a new vnode, assigning it the vnode operations passed in
Fa vops .
The vnode is either freshly allocated, or taken from the head of the
free list depending on the number of vnodes already in the system.
The arguments to
getnewvnode ();
are:
Fa tag
The file system type string.
This field should only be referenced for debugging or for userland utilities.
Fa mp
The mount point to add the new vnode to.
Fa vops
The vnode operations to assign to the new vnode.
Fa vpp
Points to the new vnode upon successful completion.
RETURN VALUES
getnewvnode ();
returns 0 on success.
There are currently no failure conditions - that do not result in a panic.
