I assume you are referring to the fileop scope? Many of the paths that are passed to this scope are not necessarily viable candidates for lookup; for example the 'from' name for rename is gone by the time the kauth handler runs. 'man cscope' Thanks, I didn't know about this useful command. Unfortunately it wasn't able to find example usage of vnode_lookup in the xnu source but it did find the definition, and while that does tell me a bit more about how to use it, I'm still not sure if it does what I think it does, but I think it's a safe bet that it returns (via pointer arg) the vnode corresponding to the path name.
