Name

NFSPROC_ROOT - Get File System Root

Call Arguments

None.

Return Arguments

None.

RPC Procedure Description

void NFSPROC_ROOT(void) = 3;

Description

Obsolete. The function of looking up the root file handle is now handled by the mount protocol. This procedure is no longer used because finding the root file handle of a file system requires moving pathnames between client and server. To do this correctly would require the definition of a network standard representation of pathnames. Instead, the function of looking up the root file handle is done by the MNTPROC_MNT procedure. (See Mount Protocol .)

Return Codes

None.
