Synopsis

Twalk tag [2] fid [2] name [28]
Rwalk tag [2] fid [2] qid [8]

For the walk to succeed, the file identified by fid must be a directory and the implied user of the request must have permission to search the directory. (See Inferno File Protocol, Styx).

After a successful walk, fid represents the specified file. The qid for the new file is returned with the walk reply message.

A walk of the name "." in the root directory of a server is a no-op.

Entry Points
