* Document EINTEGRITY errors for many system calls.John Baldwin2020-03-301-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem. While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for UFS for mount(2).

* write.2: correct maximum nbytes size for EINVAL errorEd Maste2017-10-171-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In FreeBSD 11 and later debug.iosize_max_clamp defaults to 0, and the maximum nbytes count for write(2) is SSIZE_MAX. Update the man page to document this, and mention the sysctl that can be set to obtain the previous behaviour.

* Renumber copyright clause 4Warner Losh2017-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

* - Add two new system calls: preadv() and pwritev() which are like readv()John Baldwin2005-07-071-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and writev() except that they take an additional offset argument and do not change the current file position. In SAT speak: preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write. - Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov(). The non-v functions now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments and then call kern_foov(). For example, read() now just builds a uio and calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().
