34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VOP_READ ,
36.Nm VOP_WRITE
37.Nd read or write a file
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
40.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
41.Fd #include <sys/uio.h>
42.Ft int
43.Fn VOP_READ "struct vnode *vp" "struct uio *uio" "int ioflag" "struct ucred *cred"
44.Ft int
45.Fn VOP_WRITE "struct vnode *vp" "struct uio *uio" "int ioflag" "struct ucred *cred"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47These entry points read or write the contents of a file
48.Pp
49The arguments are:
50.Bl -tag -width ioflag
51.It Ar vp
52the vnode of the file
53.It Ar uio
54the location of the data to be read or written
55.It Ar ioflag
56various flags
57.It Ar cnp
58the credentials of the caller
59.El
60.Pp
61The
62.Fa ioflag
63argument is used to give directives and hints to the filesystem.
64When attempting a read, the high 16 bits are used to provide a
65read-ahead hint (in units of filesystem blocks) that the filesystem
66should attempt. The low 16 bits are a bit mask which can contain
67the following flags:
68.Bl -tag -width IO_NODELOCKED
69.It Dv IO_UNIT
70do I/O as atomic unit
71.It Dv IO_APPEND
72append write to end
73.It Dv IO_SYNC
74do I/O synchronously
75.It Dv IO_NODELOCKED
76underlying node already locked
77.It Dv IO_NDELAY
78.Dv FNDELAY
79flag set in file table
80.It Dv IO_VMIO
81data already in VMIO space
82.El
83.Sh LOCKS
84The file should be locked on entry and will still be locked on exit.
85.Sh RETURN VALUES
86Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.

222.Bl -tag -width Er
223.It Bq Er EFBIG
224An attempt was made to write a file that exceeds the process's file size
225limit or the maximum file size.
226.It Bq Er ENOSPC
227The filesystem is full.
228.It Bq Er EPERM
229An append-only flag is set on the file, but the caller is attempting to
230write before the current end of file.
