42 .Nd attempt to recover a deleted file
48 .Fn undelete "const char *path"
52 function attempts to recover the deleted file named by
54 Currently, this works only when the named object
55 is a whiteout in a union filesystem.
56 The system call removes the whiteout causing
57 any objects in a lower layer of the
58 union stack to become visible once more.
62 functionality may be expanded to other filesystems able to recover
63 deleted files such as the log-structured filesystem.
72 A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
73 .It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
74 A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
75 or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
77 The path does not reference a whiteout.
79 The named whiteout does not exist.
81 Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
83 Write permission is denied on the directory containing the name
86 Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
88 The directory containing the name is marked sticky,
89 and the containing directory is not owned by the effective user ID.
91 An I/O error occurred while updating the directory entry.
93 The name resides on a read-only file system.
96 points outside the process's allocated address space.
