NAME
types - primitive system data types
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
DESCRIPTION
The data types defined in types.h are used in UNIX System code. Some
data of these types are accessible to user code:
typedef struct { int r[1]; } *physadr;
typedef long clock_t;
typedef long daddr_t;
typedef char * caddr_t;
typedef unsigned char unchar;
typedef unsigned short ushort;
typedef unsigned int uint;
typedef unsigned long ulong;
typedef unsigned long ino_t;
typedef long uid_t;
typedef long gid_t;
typedef ulong nlink_t;
typedef ulong mode_t;
typedef short cnt_t;
typedef long time_t;
typedef int label_t[24];
typedef ulong dev_t;
typedef long off_t;
typedef long pid_t;
typedef unsigned long paddr_t;
typedef int key_t;
typedef unsigned char use_t;
typedef short sysid_t;
typedef short index_t;
typedef short lock_t;
typedef unsigned int size_t;
The form daddr_t is used for disk addresses except in an i-node on
disk, see fs(4). Times are encoded in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC,
January 1, 1970. The major and minor parts of a device code specify
kind and unit number of a device and are installation-dependent.
Offsets are measured in bytes from the beginning of a file. The
label_t variables are used to save the processor state while another
process is running.
