+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/vnode.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn VOP_ADVISE "struct vnode *vp" "off_t start" "off_t end" "int advice"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This call applies advice for a range of a file's data.
+It is used to implement the
+.Xr posix_fadvise
+system call.
+.Pp
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width offset
+.It Fa vp
+The vnode of the file.
+.It Fa start
+The start of the range of file data.
+.It Fa end
+The end of the range of file data.
+.It Fa advice
+The type of operation to apply to the file data.
+Possible values are:
+.Bl -tag -width POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
+.It Dv POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
+Initiate an asynchronous read of the file data if it is not already resident.
+.It Dv POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED
+Decrease the in-memory priority of clean file data or discard clean file data.
+.El
+.El
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fa start
+and
+.Fa end
+offsets are both zero,
+then the operation should be applied to the entire file.
+Note that this call is advisory only and may perform the requested
+operation on a subset of the requested range
+.Pq including not performing it at all
+and still return success.
+.Sh LOCKS
+The file should be unlocked on entry.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Zero is returned if the call is successful, otherwise an appropriate
+error code is returned.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+An invalid value was given for
+.Fa advice .

+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/vnode.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn VOP_ALLOCATE "struct vnode *vp" "off_t *offset" "off_t *len"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This call allocates storage for a range of offsets in a file.
+It is used to implement the
+.Xr posix_fallocate
+system call.
+.Pp
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width offset
+.It Fa vp
+The vnode of the file.
+.It Fa offset
+The start of the range to allocate storage for in the file.
+.It Fa len
+The length of the range to allocate storage for in the file.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa offset
+and
+.Fa len
+arguments are updated to reflect the portion of the range that
+still needs to be allocated on return.
+A partial allocation is considered a successful operation.
+The file's contents are not changed.
+.Sh LOCKS
+The file should be exclusively locked on entry and will still be locked on exit.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Zero is returned if the call is successful, otherwise an appropriate
+error code is returned.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EFBIG
+An attempt was made to write a file that exceeds the process's file size
+limit or the maximum file size.
+.It Bq Er ENOSPC
+The file system is full.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+An append-only flag is set on the file, but the caller is attempting to
+write before the current end of file.
