47 entry point is called before a file is accessed by a process and the
49 entry point is called after a file is finished with by the process.
56 the access mode required by the calling process
58 the process which is accessing the file
61 The access mode is a set of flags, including
70 to be locked on entry and will leave it locked on return.
73 expects at least a reference to be associated with the vnode and does not
74 care whether the vnode is locked or not. The lock and reference state is
75 left unchanged on return. Note that
77 expects an unlocked, referenced vnode and will dereference the vnode prior
80 Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error code is returned.
