lstat(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
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 an OSS fileset.
Values for OSS objects are listed in the following table. Values for Guardian
objects are described in Use on Guardian Objects, later in this reference page.
For Contains
Regular file File serial number (unique)
Directory File serial number (unique)
FIFO File serial number (unique)
AF_UNIX socket File serial number of the socket file
(unique)
/dev/null File serial number (unique)
/dev/tty File serial number (unique)
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 on the local node) is the value
for the root fileset on the corresponding node. If normal conventions are fol-
lowed, this value is always 0 (zero), so entries in /E appear to be nonunique.
Values for objects on remote nodes are unique only among the values for objects
within the same fileset on that node.
st_mode File mode. The following bits are ORed into the st_mode field:
S_IFMT File type. This field can contain one of the following values:
S_IFCHR Character special file.
S_IFDIR Directory.
S_IFIFO FIFO.
S_IFREG Regular file.
S_IFSOCK Socket.
For an AF_UNIX socket, the user permissions
from the inode for the socket are returned for the
permission bits. The access flags are also
returned from the inode.
