   33: .Sh NAME
   34: .Nm VOP_LINK
   35: .Nd create a new name for a file
   36: .Sh SYNOPSIS
   37: .In sys/param.h
   38: .In sys/vnode.h
   39: .Ft int
   40: .Fn VOP_LINK "struct vnode *dvp" "struct vnode *vp" "struct componentname *cnp"
   41: .Sh DESCRIPTION
   42: This links a new name in the specified directory to an existing file.
   43: .Pp
   44: Its arguments are:
   45: .Bl -tag -width 8n
   46: .It Fa dvp
   47: the vnode of the directory
   48: .It Fa vp
   49: the vnode of the file to be linked
   50: .It Fa cnp
   51: pathname information about the file
   52: .El
   53: .Pp
   54: The pathname info must be released on exit.  The directory and
   55: file vnodes should NOT be released on exit.
   56: .Sh LOCKS
   57: The directory,
   58: .Fa dvp
   59: is locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
   60: The file
   61: .Fa vp
   62: is not locked on entry and should remain that way on return.
   63: If your VOP code locks
   64: .Fa vp ,
   65: it must be sure to unlock prior to returning.
   66: .Sh RETURN VALUES
   67: Zero is returned if the file was linked successfully, otherwise an
   68: error is returned.
