VHOLD(9)		 BSD Kernel Developer's	Manual		      VHOLD(9)

NAME
     vhold, vdrop, vdropl -- acquire/release a hold on a vnode

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>

     void
     vhold(struct vnode	*vp);

     void
     vholdl(struct vnode *vp);

     void
     vdrop(struct vnode	*vp);

     void
     vdropl(struct vnode *vp);

DESCRIPTION
     The vhold() and vholdl() functions	increment the v_holdcnt	of the given
     vnode.  If	the vnode has already been added to the	free list and is still
     referenced, it will be removed.

     The vdrop() and vdropl() functions	decrement the v_holdcnt	of the vnode.
     If	the holdcount is less than or equal to zero prior to calling vdrop()
     or	vdropl(), the system will panic.  If the vnode is no longer refer-
     enced, it will be freed.

     vhold() and vdrop() lock the vnode	interlock while	vholdl() and vdropl()
     expect the	interlock to already be	held.
