-<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
-
-<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- The <i>9pclient</i> library helps client programs interact with 9P servers.
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- A <tt><font size=+1>CFsys*</font></tt> represents a connection to a 9P server. A <tt><font size=+1>CFid*</font></tt> represents
- an active fid on some connection; see <i>intro</i>(9p).
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- A new connection to a 9P server is typically established by <i>fsmount</i>
- or <i>nsmount</i>. <i>Fsmount</i> initializes a new 9P conversation on the open
- file descriptor <i>fd</i>; <i>nsmount</i> connects to a service named <i>name</i> in
- the current name space directory (see <a href="../man4/intro.html"><i>intro</i>(4)</a>). Both attach to
- the root of the file system using the attach name <i>aname</i>.
- <i>Fsroot</i> returns the <tt><font size=+1>CFid*</font></tt> corresponding to this root.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>Fsinit</i>, <i>fsversion</i>, <i>fsauth</i>, <i>fsattach</i>, and <i>fssetroot</i> provide more
- detailed control over the file system connection than <i>fsmount</i>
- and <i>nsmount</i>. <i>Fsinit</i> allocates a new <tt><font size=+1>CFsys*</font></tt> corresponding to a
- 9P conversation on the file descriptor <i>fd</i>. <i>Fsversion</i> executes
- a <i>version</i>(9p) transaction to establish maximum message size and
- 9P
- version. <i>Fsauth</i> executes an <i>auth</i>(9p) transaction, returning the
- new auth fid. (<i>Fsread</i> and <i>fswrite</i> can then be used to run the
- authentication protocol over the fid.) <i>Fsattach</i> executes an <i>attach</i>(9p)
- transaction to connect to the root of a file tree served by the
- server. It presents <i>afid</i> (which may be nil) to establish
- identity. <i>Fssetroot</i> sets the root fid used by <i>fsopen</i>, <i>fsopenfd</i>,
- <i>fsdirstat</i>, and <i>fsdirwstat</i>, which evaluate rooted path names.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- When a fid is no longer needed, it should be clunked by calling
- <i>fsclose</i> and then considered freed. Similarly, when the connection
- to the server is no longer needed, it should be closed by calling
- <i>fsunmount</i>, which will take care of calling <i>fsclose</i> on the current
- root fid. Once all fids have been clunked <i>and</i> the connection
- has been closed (the order is not important), the allocated structures
- will be freed and the file descriptor corresponding to the connection
- will be closed (see <a href="../man2/close.html"><i>close</i>(2)</a>). Fids are not reference counted:
- when <i>fsclose</i> is called, the clunk transaction and freeing of storage
- happen immediately.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>Fscreate</i> and <i>fsopen</i> establish new fids using the <i>walk</i>, <i>create</i>
- and <i>open</i> transactions (see <i>walk</i>(9p) and <i>open</i>(9p)). The <i>path</i> argument
- is evaluated relative to the <tt><font size=+1>CFsys</font></tt> root (see <i>fsroot</i> and <i>fssetroot</i>
- above). The path is parsed as a slash-separated sequence of path
- elements, as on Unix and Plan 9. Elements that are
- empty or dot (<tt><font size=+1>.</font></tt>) are ignored.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- Once opened, these fids can be read and written using <i>fspread</i>
- and <i>fspwrite</i>, which execute <i>read</i> and <i>write</i> transactions (see <i>read</i>(9p)).
- The library maintains an offset for each fid, analagous to the
- offset maintained by the kernel for each open file descriptor.
- <i>Fsread</i> and <i>fswrite</i> read and write from this offset, and
- update it after successful calls. Calling <i>fspread</i> or <i>fspwrite</i>
- with an <i>offset</i> of &ndash;1 is identical to calling <i>fsread</i> or <i>fswrite</i>.
- <i>Fsreadn</i> calls <i>fsread</i> repeatedly to obtain exactly <i>n</i> bytes of data,
- unless it encounters end-of-file or an error.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- Reading an open a directory returns directory entries encoded
- as described in <i>stat</i>(9p). <i>Fsdirread</i> calls <i>fsread</i> and then parses
- the encoded entries into an array of <tt><font size=+1>Dir*</font></tt> data structures, storing
- a pointer to the array in <tt><font size=+1>*d</font></tt> and returning the number of entries.
- <i>Fsdirreadall</i> is similar but reads the entire directory. The
- returned pointer should be freed with <i>free</i> (see <a href="../man3/malloc.html"><i>malloc</i>(3)</a>) when
- no longer needed.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>Fsdirfstat</i> and <i>fsdirfwstat</i> execute <i>stat</i> and <i>wstat</i> (see <i>stat</i>(9p))
- transactions. The <tt><font size=+1>Dir</font></tt> structure returned by <i>fsdirfstat</i> should
- be freed with <i>free</i> (see <a href="../man3/malloc.html"><i>malloc</i>(3)</a>) when no longer needed.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>Fsdirstat</i> and <i>fsdirwstat</i> are similar to <i>fsdirfstat</i> and <i>fsdirfwstat</i>
- but operate on paths relative to the file system root (see <i>fsopen</i>
- and <i>fscreate</i> above).
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>Fsopenfd</i> opens a file on the 9P server for reading or writing
- but returns a Unix file descriptor instead of a fid structure.
- The file descriptor is actually one end of a <a href="../man2/pipe.html"><i>pipe</i>(2)</a>. A proxy
- process on the other end is ferrying data between the pipe and
- the 9P fid. Because of the implementation as a pipe, the only
- signal of a
- read or write error is the closing of the pipe. The file descriptor
- remains valid even after the <tt><font size=+1>CFsys</font></tt> is unmounted.<br>
