+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This call allocates storage for a range of offsets in a file.
+It is used to implement the
+.Xr posix_fallocate 2
+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.
+.It Fa ioflag
+Directives and hints to be given to the file system.
+.It Fa cred
+The credentials of the caller.
+.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.
