dir(5)
NAME
dir - directory layout
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>
DESCRIPTION
The directories of the V1 and V2 file systems are arrays of the following
structure defined in <sys/dir.h>:
struct direct {
ino_t d_ino; /* I-node number */
char d_name[14]; /* Name of up to 14 characters */
};
The d_ino field is the inode number of the file named by d_name. D_ino
is zero if the directory slot isn't allocated. This number is the same
as st_ino returned by stat(2) unless the entry is mounted on. D_name is
the name of up to 14 characters, null-terminated only if less then 14 in
length. Any character other than null or '/' is allowed.
See directory(3) for a portable way to access directories, Minix is
probably the last system with these old V7 format directories.
