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 () */
    /*  format,attributes and permission bits  */

/* number of links to file(if 0,inode is available)  */
ushort di_nlink;
  
/* accounting ID  */
ushort di_acct;
  
/* user id of owner  */
uid_t di_uid;
  
/* group id of owner  */
gid_t di_gid;
  
/* size of file  */

/* number of blocks actually used by file  */
