.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn bread ,
.Fn bwrite
and
.Fn berase
functions provide a block read, write and erase API for
.Xr libufs 3
consumers.
They operate on a userland UFS disk structure, and perform the read
and write at a given block address, which uses the current
.Va d_bsize
value of the structure.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn bread
and
.Fn bwrite
functions return the amount read or written, or \-1 in case of any error,
including short read.
.Pp
The
.Fn berase
function returns non-zero on error.
.Sh ERRORS
The function
.Fn bread
may fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the library functions
.Xr ufs_disk_write 3
or
.Xr pread 2 .
.Pp
The function
.Fn bwrite
may fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the library function
.Xr pwrite 2 .
.Pp
The function
.Fn berase
may fail and set
.Va errno
for any of the errors specified for the library function
.Xr ioctl 2 .
.Pp
Additionally all three functions may follow the
.Xr libufs 3
error methodologies in situations where the amount of data written
is not equal to the amount requested, or in case of a device error.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr libufs 3 ,
.Xr ufs_disk_write 3
