dir_s5(4)
dir (s5) --
format of s5 directories
Synopsis
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/fs/s5dir.h>
Description
A directory
behaves exactly like an ordinary file, save that no
user may write into a directory.
The fact that a file is a directory is indicated by
a bit in the mode word of its i-node entry
[see the s5-specific
inode_s5(4)].
The structure of a directory entry as given in the
include file is:
#ifndef DIRSIZ
#define DIRSIZ 14
#endif
struct direct
{
o_ino_t d_ino; /* s5 inode type */
char d_name[DIRSIZ];
};
By convention, the first two entries in each directory
are ``.'' for the entry itself and ``..'' for the parent directory.
The meaning of ``..'' is modified for the root directory
of the master file system;
there is no parent, so ``..'' has the
same meaning as ``.'' has.
