vnop_open_args

Call down to a filesystem to create a special file.

Declaration

struct vnop_open_args {
    ...
};

Discussion

The mknod vnop is used to create character and block device files, named pipe (FIFO) files, and named sockets. The newly created file should be returned with an iocount which will be dropped by the caller. A VNOP_MKNOD() call can come down without a preceding VNOP_OPEN().
