Thanks to Cyril Plisko, Casper Dik, Kevin Buterbaugh, Jagannath

UFS doesn't provide a public ioctl() interface for per-file Direct I/O, as
VxFS does.
Though, it provides a library function that issue the private ioctl call :
directio()   (man directio)

Note that activating directio on an opened file will affect all other
processes accessing this file.

	Objet:	UFS direct I/O

	Is there any method to activate UFS direct I/O on a per-file basis
(not on
	per-filesystem basis with the forcedirectio option)..
	I know VxFS has an ioctl call for this (VX_DIRECT), but I didn't
find the
	equivalent UFS option.
	I will summarise.
