FHOPEN(2)                                  BSD System Calls Manual                                 FHOPEN(2)

NAME
     fhopen -- open a file by file handle

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/mount.h>

     int
     fhopen(const struct fhandle *fhp, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The file specified by the given file handle is opened for reading and/or writing, as specified by the
     argument flags; the file descriptor is returned to the calling process.

     This system call is restricted to the super-user and is used by an NFS server's rpc.lockd(8) daemon to
     open a file in order to perform locking operations on it.

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

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

     [ESTALE]           The file handle no longer refers to a valid, NFS-exported object.

     [EPERM]            The caller is not the super-user.

     [EINVAL]           There was a problem with the value of one of the arguments.

     [EFAULT]           fhp points to an invalid address.
