Thanks for your response. Both you and Alfred have answered my questions.
All I really needed was VDIR, since I can get to the filename from the
process-context call to open. I thought I'd ask about VREG anyway. My
search of the archives was fragged and I didn't find anything (I did upon
restart
you can for VDIR as the getcwd call does so, but not for VREG becasue you
don't know the directory entry that you used to get to it.
(You could look in the name cache using a reverse lookup, but I don't know
that you are guaranteed of success.) PHK may have more to say on this
topic.

Hello Gurus,
Is there any way of getting filepath information from a vnode? What I'm
looking for is pathname info for VDIR and VREG types, sort of a reverse
namei().
Thanks!
