SYNOPSIS


.In sys/param.h
.In sys/mount.h int getfh "const char *path" "fhandle_t *fhp" int lgetfh "const char *path" "fhandle_t *fhp"

DESCRIPTION

The getfh system call returns a file handle for the specified file or directory in the file handle pointed to by fhp. The lgetfh system call is like getfh except in the case where the named file is a symbolic link, in which case lgetfh returns information about the link, while getfh returns information about the file the link references. These system calls are restricted to the superuser.

RETURN VALUES
