🎀 NAME 🎀

VOP_REALLOCBLKS — rearrange blocks in a file to be contiguous

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel Developer's Manual (section 9, iykyk), and it's literally about VOP_REALLOCBLKS, which rearranges blocks in a file to be contiguous. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first you gotta pull in the headers, no cap:

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

int
VOP_REALLOCBLKS(struct vnode *vp, struct cluster_save *buflist);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the arguments are giving main character energy:

• vp — the file to manipulate.
• buflist — a list of buffers to rearrange.

and then the plot twist: this seems to be part of a work in progress. 🙈 that's literally what it says, bestie — don't come for me.

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

0 is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned. periodt. 💅
