DESCRIPTIONGet a vnode from the free list and increment its reference count.
When not in use, vnodes are kept on a free list. The vnodes still reference valid files but may be reused to refer to a new file at any time. Often, these vnodes are also held in caches in the system, such as the name cache. When a vnode which is on the free list is used again, for instance
if the vnode was found in the name cache as a result of a call to
VOP_LOOKUP(9)
then the new user must call SEE ALSOvnode(9), vput(9), vref(9), vrele(9)AUTHORSThis manual page was written by Doug Rabson.
