          NAME
               inode - format of an inode

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

          DESCRIPTION
               An inode for a plain file or directory in a file system has
               the following structure defined by <sys/ino.h>.

                    /* Inode structure as it appears on a disk block. */
                    struct dinode
                    {
                           ushort di_mode;     /* mode and type of file */
                           short  di_nlink;    /* number of links to file */
                           ushort di_uid;      /* owner's user id */
                           ushort di_gid;      /* owner's group id */
                           off_t  di_size;     /* number of bytes in file */
                           char   di_addr[40]; /* disk block addresses */
                           time_t di_atime;    /* time last accessed */
                           time_t di_mtime;    /* time last modified */
                           time_t di_ctime;    /* time of last file status change */
                    };
                    /*
                     * the 40 address bytes:
                     *    39 used; 13 addresses
                     *    of 3 bytes each.
                     */
               For the meaning of the defined types off_t and time_t see
               types(5).
