int mode, int *newfd)

VRTSvxfs

The vxfs_inotofd() function returns, in *newfd, a file desciptor for a file with the specified inode number in the file system associated with fd, which can refer to any file in the file system. If fd is associated with a mounted Storage Checkpoint, the returned file descriptor is specific to that Storage Checkpoint.

Currently, the mode argument can only have a value of O_RDONLY.

This function is supported only on Version 6 and later disk layouts.

vxfs_inotofd() returns zero on success, non-zero on failure.

EINVAL	The specified inode number is beyond the maximum inode number.
ENOENT	The specified inode number does not exist.
