.Dd February 6, 2001 .Os .Dt VCOUNT 9 .Sh NAME .Nm vcount , .Nm count_dev .Nd "get total number of references to a device" .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/param.h n sys/time.h n sys/conf.h n sys/vnode.h .Ft int .Fn vcount "struct vnode *vp" .Ft int .Fn count_dev "dev_t dev" .Sh DESCRIPTION .Fn vcount is used to get the number of references to a particular device. It allows for the fact that multiple vnodes may reference the same device. .Fn count_dev does the same thing as .Fn vcount , but takes a .Vt dev_t rather than a .Vt "struct vnode" pointer as an argument. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn vcount and .Fn count_dev both return the number of references to the device. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr VFS 9 , .Xr vnode 9 .Sh AUTHORS This man page was written by .An Andrew Stevenson .
