.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ufs_disk_close
function closes a disk and frees internal memory related to it.
It does not free the
.Fa disk
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
and
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
functions open a disk specified by
.Fa name
and populate the structure pointed to by
.Fa disk .
The disk is opened read-only.
The specified
.Fa name
may be either a mountpoint, a device name or a filesystem image.
The
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
function assumes there is a valid superblock and will fail if not,
whereas the
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
function makes no assumptions of that sort.
.Pp
The
.Fn ufs_disk_write
function attempts to re-open a disk as writable if it is not currently.
.Sh ERRORS
The function
.Fn ufs_disk_close
has no failure points.
.Pp
The function
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout
may fail for any of the reasons
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
might, as well as for any reason
.Xr sbread 3
might.
.Pp
The
.Fn ufs_disk_fillout_blank
may fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the library functions
.Xr open 2 ,
.Xr strdup 3 .
Additionally, it may follow the
.Xr libufs 3
error methodologies in situations where no device could be found to
open.
.Pp
The function
.Fn ufs_disk_write
may fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the library functions
.Xr open 2
and
.Xr stat 2 .
Namely, it will fail if the disk in question may not be written to.
