Get total number of references to a device

Usage

#include <sys/param.h>

#include <sys/vnode.h>

int

vcount(struct vnode *vp);

int

count_dev(dev_t dev);

Overview

vcount() is used to get the number of references to a particular device. It allows for the fact that multiple vnodes may reference the same device. count_dev() does the same thing as vcount(), but takes a dev_t rather than a struct vnode pointer as an argument.

Return values

vcount() and count_dev() both return the number of references to the device.
