VOP_OLD_CREATE(9)     DragonFly Kernel Developer's Manual    VOP_OLD_CREATE(9)

NAME
     VOP_OLD_CREATE, VOP_OLD_MKNOD, VOP_OLD_MKDIR, VOP_OLD_SYMLINK -- create a
     file, socket, fifo, device, directory or symlink

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>
     #include <sys/namei.h>

     int
     VOP_OLD_CREATE(struct vnode *dvp, struct vnode **vpp,
         struct componentname *cnp, struct vattr *vap);

     int
     VOP_OLD_MKNOD(struct vnode *dvp, struct vnode **vpp,
         struct componentname *cnp, struct vattr *vap);

     int
     VOP_OLD_MKDIR(struct vnode *dvp, struct vnode **vpp,
         struct componentname *cnp, struct vattr *vap);

     int
     VOP_OLD_SYMLINK(struct vnode *dvp, struct vnode **vpp,
         struct componentname *cnp, struct vattr *vap, char *target);

DESCRIPTION
     These entry points create a new file, socket, fifo, device, directory or
     symlink in a given directory.

     The arguments are:

     dvp     the locked vnode of the directory

     vpp     the address of a variable where the resulting locked vnode should
             be stored

     cnp     the pathname component created

     vap     the attributes that the new object should be created with

     target  the pathname of the target of the symlink

     These entry points are called after VOP_OLD_LOOKUP(9) when an object is
     being created.  If an error is detected when creating the file, then this
     memory will be freed.  If the file is created successfully, then it will
     be freed.

LOCKS
     The directory, dvp will be locked on entry and must remain locked on
     return.  If the call is successful, the new object will be returned
     locked.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, the vnode for the new object is placed in *vpp and zero is
     returned.  Otherwise, an appropriate error is returned.

ERRORS
     [ENOSPC]           The filesystem is full.

     [EDQUOT]           Quota exceeded.
