For Contains
Regular file ID of device containing directory entry
Directory ID of device containing directory
FIFO ID of special fileset for pipes
AF_UNIX socket ID of device containing the fileset in which
the socket file was created
/dev/null ID of device containing directory entry
/dev/tty ID of device containing directory entry
st_ino File serial number (inode number). The file serial number and
OSS device identifier uniquely identify a regular OSS file within

The st_ino value for all node entries in /E (including the entry
for the logical link from the local node name to the root fileset

Values for objects on remote nodes are unique only among the
values for objects within the same fileset on that node.
