+.Fn vfs_suser "struct mount *mp" "struct thread *td"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn vfs_suser
+function checks if the credentials given include superuser powers
+for the given mount point.
+It will check to see if the thread
+passed in has the same credentials as the user that mounted the
+file system.
+If so, it returns 0, otherwise it returns what
+.Xr priv_check 9
+would have returned.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES

+.Fn vfs_suser
+function returns 0 if the user has superuser powers and

+otherwise.

+of some other implementations of

+in which a TRUE response indicates superuser powers.
