Ioctls
======
There is some NILFS2 specific functionality which can be accessed by applications
through the system call interfaces. The list of all NILFS2 specific ioctls are
shown in the table below.
Table of NILFS2 specific ioctls
..............................................................................
Ioctl Description
NILFS_IOCTL_CHANGE_CPMODE Change mode of given checkpoint between
checkpoint and snapshot state. This ioctl is
used in chcp and mkcp utilities.
NILFS_IOCTL_DELETE_CHECKPOINT Remove checkpoint from NILFS2 file system.
This ioctl is used in rmcp utility.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO Return info about requested checkpoints. This
ioctl is used in lscp utility and by
nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPSTAT Return checkpoints statistics. This ioctl is
used by lscp, rmcp utilities and by
nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO Return segment usage info about requested
segments. This ioctl is used in lssu,
nilfs_resize utilities and by nilfs_cleanerd
daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUSTAT Return segment usage statistics. This ioctl
is used in lssu, nilfs_resize utilities and
by nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO Return information on virtual block addresses.
This ioctl is used by nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_GET_BDESCS Return information about descriptors of disk
block numbers. This ioctl is used by
nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_CLEAN_SEGMENTS Do garbage collection operation in the
environment of requested parameters from
userspace. This ioctl is used by
nilfs_cleanerd daemon.
NILFS_IOCTL_SYNC Make a checkpoint. This ioctl is used in
mkcp utility.
NILFS_IOCTL_RESIZE Resize NILFS2 volume. This ioctl is used
by nilfs_resize utility.
NILFS_IOCTL_SET_ALLOC_RANGE Define lower limit of segments in bytes and
upper limit of segments in bytes. This ioctl
is used by nilfs_resize utility.
