SBREAD(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		     SBREAD(3)

NAME
     sbread, sbwrite — read and write superblocks of a UFS file system

LIBRARY
     library “libufs”

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/mount.h>
     #include <ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h>
     #include <ufs/ufs/dinode.h>
     #include <ufs/ffs/fs.h>
     #include <libufs.h>

     int
     sbread(struct uufsd *disk);

     int
     sbwrite(struct uufsd *disk, int all);

DESCRIPTION
     The sbread() and sbwrite() functions provide superblock reads and writes
     for libufs(3) consumers.  The sbread() and sbwrite() functions operate on
     the superblock field, d_sb, associated with a given userland UFS disk
     structure.	 Additionally, the sbwrite() function will write to all
     superblock locations if the all value is non-zero.

RETURN VALUES
     The sbread() and sbwrite() functions return the value 0 if successful;
     otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set
     to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The function sbread() may fail and set errno for any of the errors speci‐
     fied for the library function bread(3).  Additionally, it may follow the
     libufs(3) error methodologies in situations where no usable superblock
     could be found.

     The function sbwrite() may fail and set errno for any of the errors spec‐
     ified for the library function bwrite(3).

SEE ALSO
     bread(3), bwrite(3), libufs(3)

HISTORY
     These functions first appeared as part of libufs(3) in FreeBSD 5.0.
