inode.h File

Purpose

Describes a file system file or directory entry as it is listed on a disk.

Syntax

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ino.h>

Description

The inode file for an ordinary file or directory in a file system has the following structure defined by the sys/ino.h file format:


struct dinode

    ulong di_gen;
    /*  mode_t returned by stat () */

ushort di_nlink;
  
/* accounting ID  */
ushort di_acct;
  
/* user id of owner  */
uid_t di_uid;
  
/* group id of owner  */

/* size of file  */
