NAME

clwalk - clone, then search a directory, and change to a file within it

SYNOPSIS

Tclwalk tag[2] fid[2] newfid[2] name[28]
Rclwalk tag[2] fid[2] qid[8]

DESCRIPTION

The clwalk request is a combination of a clone request (see clone(5)) followed by a walk request (see walk(5)) on the new fid. If the walk fails, there is an implicit clunk of newfid.

ENTRY POINTS

The clwalk message is an optimization for use on low-speed lines; it is not generated by the kernel. The cfs(4) cached file system generates it as a side-effect of any system call that interprets a file name.
