>Description:
I was reading the manpages for vfs stuff and I have some
comments on the content.
In vfsops(0) vfs_export_lookup, there is spelling error:
verigfy -> verify (see patch).
And in vnodeops(9) I found the following items that would need
improvments.
VOP_READDIR, cookies can be used from emulation layer too
(linux and sunos).
VOP_ABORTOP, needs to be implemented, or call genfs_abortop.
is used to release allocated cnp. So it should probably say
"abort pending namei operation and free resources".
VOP_BMAP, what does bnp do ? (return physical block)
-1 is no mapping (a hole).
For these, I leave it up to someone native/better english
speaker/writer. From experience I know someone else should
write them, otherwise you just need to rewrite the whole text.
>How-To-Repeat:
man vfsops
man vnodeops
