STRUCT NILFS_BINFO_DAT(9)

💖 struct nilfs_binfo_dat(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is that kernel API manual, and today's main character is struct nilfs_binfo_dat 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nilfs_binfo_dat — the whole vibe of this one is "information on a DAT node block" 💅 like that's literally its job, that's the assignment, and it ate

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the look, don't touch the formatting, it's giving exactly this:

struct nilfs_binfo_dat {
    __le64 bi_blkoff;
    __u8 bi_level;
    __u8 bi_pad[7];
 };

like yes bestie, that's the whole struct, three fields, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• bi_blkoff — the block offset, that's it, that's the field 💫
• bi_level — the level, iconic, no notes 🔥
• bi_pad — padding, the humble little supporting character, we respect it 🙈

---
