RPC Procedure Description

 

diropres
NFSPROC_CREATE(createargs) = 9;

Description

The file name is created in the directory given by dir. The initial attributes of the new file are given by diropok.attributes. A reply status of NFS_OK indicates that the file was created, and reply diropok.file and reply attributes are its file handle and attributes. Any other reply status means that the operation failed and no file was created.

This procedure is used to create regular files only; directories may be created by the NFSPROC_MKDIR procedure (see Name ).

Note that this call will succeed even if the file already exists.
