     ggeettffhh(const char *path, fhandlet *fhp);

DESCRIPTION
     GGeettffhh() returns a file handle for the specified file or directory in the
     file handle pointed to by fhp.  This system call is restricted to the
     super-user and is used by an NFS server's nfsd(8) daemon to obtain file
     handles used in NFS MOUNT service replies.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, -1 is
     returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
     GGeettffhh() fails if one or more of the following are true:

                        tory.

     [ENAMETOOLONG]     The length of a component of path exceeds {NAMEMAX}
                        characters, or the length of path exceeds {PATHMAX}
                        characters.

     [ENOENT]           The file referred to by path does not exist.

     [EPERM]            The caller is not the super-user.

     [EACCES]           Search permission is denied for a component of the
                        path prefix of path.

                        ing path.

     [EFAULT]           Fhp points to an invalid address.

     [EIO]              An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
