Value-added servers can create and destroy UnixFile objects with
these methods.
UnixFile objects are Shore objects with a single attribute,
of type TEXT.
MkUnixFile
creates an object with the path or file name
given in
name.
The protection bits are given in
mode.
The object is initialized with the data given in
contents.
The SVAS writes logical object identifier of the new object
into the space to which
result
points.
If
result
is null, the resulting object identifier is not written.
RmUnixFile
removes the object named
name
in the directory
whose object identifier is
dir.
These methods are available only to value-added servers.
These methods can be used only in a transaction.
Deadlocks can occur while locks are being acquired. See
transaction(svas)
for information about deadlocks.
