NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     vclean - disassociate the underlying file system from a  vnode

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     void
     vclean(struct vnode *vp, int flags, struct proc *p);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  vclean() function clears any VM and buffer data associated with the
     vnode vp and reclaims it from the underlying file system.

     Its arguments are:

     vp         The vnode to be cleaned.

     flags      The flags indicating how the vnode should be handled.

                DOCLOSE       If  this flag is set, vclean() will
call
                             vinvalbuf(9) on the vnode.   If  the
vnode is active,
  it will be closed and inactivated in the
                             underlying file system.

     p          The process responsible for this call.

     The vnode interlock is held on entry.  On  exit,  the  v_tag
field of the
     vnode will be set to VT_NON, and if the vnode was active, it
will be
     placed on the vnode free list.
