int
getfh(const char *path, fhandle_t *fhp);

() returns a file handle for the specified file or directory in the file handle pointed to by fhp. This system call is restricted to the super-user and is used by an NFS server's nfsd(8) daemon to obtain file handles used in NFS MOUNT service replies.

Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

getfh() fails if one or more of the following are true:

[ENOTDIR]
A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.
[ENAMETOOLONG]
The length of a component of path exceeds {NAME_MAX} characters, or the length of path exceeds {PATH_MAX} characters.
[ENOENT]
The file referred to by path does not exist.
[EPERM]
The caller is not the super-user.
[EACCES]
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of path.
[ELOOP]
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path.
[EFAULT]
Fhp points to an invalid address.
[EIO]
An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
