inode(FP)

inode -- format of an inode

Syntax

#include <sys/types.h>


#include <sys/fs/inode_header>

Description

An inode for a plain file or directory has a structure that is defined by a header file in the directory <sys/fs>. The exact filename of the header file, inode_header, is filesystem dependent, because this structure is filesystem dependent. The following header files contain the descriptions of the inode structures for each supported filesystem type. For the meaning of the defined types off_t and time_t, see types(FP).
