BUF_RECURSED(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual BUF_RECURSED(9)NAME
BUF_RECURSED -- checks if the lock linked to the buffer is recursed
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <sys/bio.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
int
BUF_RECURSED(struct buf *bp);
DESCRIPTION
The BUF_RECURSED() function checks if the lock linked to the given buffer is recursed and returns 1 if the condition is true, 0 otherwise.
Its argument is:
bp The buffer linked to the lock. See lockmgr_recursed(9) for details.

PHYSIO(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual PHYSIO(9)NAME
physio -- initiate I/O on raw devices
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <sys/bio.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
int
physio(dev_t dev, struct uio *uio, int ioflag);
DESCRIPTION
The physio() is a helper function typically called from character device read() and write() routines to start I/O on a user process buffer.
The maximum amount of data to transfer with each call is determined by dev->si_iosize_max. The physio() call converts the I/O request into a
strategy() request and passes the new request to the driver's strategy() routine for processing.
Since uio normally describes user space addresses, physio() needs to lock those pages into memory. This is done by calling vmapbuf() for the
appropriate pages. physio() always awaits the completion of the entire requested transfer before returning, unless an error condition is
detected earlier.
A break-down of the arguments follows:
dev The device number identifying the device to interact with.
uio The description of the entire transfer as requested by the user process. Currently, the results of passing a uio structure with the
uio_segflg set to anything other than UIO_USERSPACE are undefined.
ioflag The ioflag argument from the read() or write() function calling physio().
RETURN VALUES
If successful physio() returns 0. EFAULT is returned if the address range described by uio is not accessible by the requesting process.
physio() will return any error resulting from calls to the device strategy routine, by examining the B_ERROR buffer flag and the b_error
field. Note that the actual transfer size may be less than requested by uio if the device signals an ``end of file'' condition.
SEE ALSO read(2), write(2)HISTORY
The physio manual page is originally from NetBSD with minor changes for applicability with FreeBSD.
The physio call has been completely re-written for providing higher I/O and paging performance.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
