SYNOPSIS


VASResult shore_vas::_mkDir( 
    const  lrid_t       &dir,
    const  serial_t     &reg_file,
    const Path          name,
    mode_t              mode,
    lrid_t              *result
);

VASResult shore_vas::_rmDir( 
    const  lrid_t       &dir,
    const Path          name
    bool                checkaccess=true
);

VASResult shore_vas::_chDir(
    const Path          name, 
    lrid_t              *result,
    LockMode            optional = NL
);

DESCRIPTION

These methods are for value-added servers; they are not in the client library.

ARGUMENTS

Name identifies the object of interest. In the case of _chDir, it can be a full pathname, a relative pathname, or simply the file name. For the other methods, it is a file name in the directory idenfified by dir.

Mode is the permissions bits for the object. When a directory is created, the given mode is modified by the client process's umask.

The result must point to an area in the caller's address space into which the SVAS writes the OID of the resulting object. It may not be a null pointer.

The caller of _mkDir must identify the file in which the directory object is to be created, by passing the file's logical identifier (serial number) in reg_file.

ENVIRONMENT

The class svas_server is available only in the server library, for use by other value-added servers.

ERRORS

Deadlocks can occur while locks are being acquired. See transaction(svas) for information about deadlocks.

A complete list of errors is in errors(svas).
