The following code obtains the status of a file whose previously looked-up vnode token is in VNODETOK. For the callable service, see v_getattr (BPX1VGA, BPX4VGA) — Get the attributes of a file. For the data structures, see BPXYATTR — Map file attributes for v_ system calls and BPXYOSS — Map operating system specific information.
