<p class="Pp">This VOP call zeroes/deallocates storage for an offset range in a
    file. It is used to implement the <a class="Xr">fspacectl(2)</a> system
    call.</p>
<p class="Pp">Its arguments are:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
  <dt><var class="Fa">vp</var></dt>
  <dd>The vnode of the file.</dd>
  <dt><var class="Fa">offset</var></dt>
  <dd>The start of the range to deallocate storage in the file.</dd>
  <dt><var class="Fa">len</var></dt>
  <dd>The length of the range to deallocate storage in the file.</dd>
  <dt><var class="Fa">flags</var></dt>
  <dd>The flags of this call. This should be set to 0 for now.</dd>
  <dt><var class="Fa">ioflag</var></dt>
  <dd>Directives and hints to be given to the file system.</dd>
  <dt><var class="Fa">cred</var></dt>
  <dd>The credentials of the caller.</dd>
</dl>
<p class="Pp"><var class="Fa">*offset</var> and <var class="Fa">*len</var> are
    updated to reflect the portion of the range that still needs to be
    zeroed/deallocated on return. Partial result is considered a successful
    operation. For a non-partial successful completion,
    <var class="Fa">*len</var> is updated to be the value 0, and
    <var class="Fa">*offset</var> is incremented by the number of bytes zeroed
    before the end-of-file.</p>
