D_PATH(9) | The Linux VFS | D_PATH(9) |
NAME¶
d_path - return the path of a dentrySYNOPSIS¶
char *
d_path(const struct path * path,
char * buf,
int buflen);
ARGUMENTS¶
pathpath to report
buf
buffer to return value in
buflen
buffer length
DESCRIPTION¶
Convert a dentry into an ASCII path name. If the entry has been deleted the string “ (deleted)” is appended. Note that this is ambiguous. Returns a pointer into the buffer or an error code if the path was too long. Note: Callers should use the returned pointer, not the passed in buffer, to use the name! The implementation often starts at an offset into the buffer, and may leave 0 bytes at the start. “buflen” should be positive.COPYRIGHT¶
