NAME

       pcihpfs_create_by_name -  create a file, given a name

SYNOPSIS

       int  pcihpfs_create_by_name  (const  char  *name,  mode_t  mode, struct
       dentry *parent, struct dentry **dentry);

ARGUMENTS

       name             name of file

       mode             type of file

       parent           dentry of directory to create it in

       dentry           resulting dentry of file

DESCRIPTION

       There is a bit of overhead in creating a file - basically, we  have  to
       hash  the name of the file, then look it up. This will prevent files of
       the same name.  We then call the proper vfs_ function to take  care  of
       all  the  file  creation  details.   This function handles both regular
       files and directories.
