Twalk traverses the directory hierarchy from an existing file to another file up to max_welem path elements away.
The special file name ".." can be used in the argument list to refer to a file's parent. Upon successful completion of a Twalk request, newfid will refer to the final file in the path list. If a Twalk contains no path arguments, it functions as a way to duplicate a fid.
of_iovec verifies a message from an I/O vector. No copying is done, and of_iovec only performs bounds checks. Modifying the underlying I/O vector will change the results when accessing message fields.
