NAME
       getnewbuf - General: Allocates a buf structure

SYNOPSIS
       struct buf * getnewbuf(
	       void );

ARGUMENTS
       None

DESCRIPTION
       The  getnewbuf  routine	allocates  a  buf structure for performing I/O
       operations. This routine guarantees that the members of	the  structure
       are  properly  initialized  prior to initiating the I/O request. Device
       drivers call this routine prior to calling

       physio, which performs the I/O operation.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, getnewbuf returns a pointer	to  the	 allo‐
       cated buf structure.  On failure, it returns a NULL pointer.
