The following code looks up a file named fnewprots in a previously looked-up directory whose vnode token is in DIRVNODETOK. In the returned attribute structure, ATTRFID contains the file identifier (FID) which can be used to obtain a vnode token for the file, subsequent to freeing the vnode token returned by v_lookup via v_rel. For the callable service, see v_lookup (BPX1VLK, BPX4VLK) — Look up a file or directory. For the data structures, see BPXYATTR — Map file attributes for v_ system calls and BPXYOSS — Map operating system specific information.
