.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
.Ft int
.Fn "vwaitforio" "struct vnode *vp" "int slpflag" "char *wmesg" "int slptimeo"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn vwaitforio
call sleeps until all asynchronous writes associated with the vnode
.Fa vp
finish.
This is used by functions that need to make sure
that the writes they initiated have completed.
.Pp
The
.Fn vwaitforio
call sleeps at priority
.Dv PRIBIO
+ 1 .
The
.Fa slpflag ,
.Fa wmesg ,
and
.Fa slptimeo
arguments indicate flags to be passed to
.Xr tsleep 9 .
.Pp
This function must be called at
.Xr splbio 9 .
.Pp
It may be important to ensure that no other process submits asynchronous
writes while a process is waiting for I/O on this vnode.
Otherwise,
.Fn vwaitforio
may never return.
.\" .Pp
.\" (Vnode interlock??)
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn vwaitforio
function returns 0 on success.
See
.Xr tsleep 9
for possible error returns.
