STRUCT NILFS_INODE(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so this is the struct nilfs_inode(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about the struct nilfs_inode — the structure of an inode on disk. That's the whole vibe, bestie. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here's the struct in all its on-disk glory — copy it exactly, no editing the icon:

       struct nilfs_inode {
           __le64 i_blocks;
           __le64 i_size;
           __le64 i_ctime;
           __le64 i_mtime;
           __le32 i_ctime_nsec;
           __le32 i_mtime_nsec;
           __le32 i_uid;
           __le32 i_gid;
           __le16 i_mode;
           __le16 i_links_count;
           __le32 i_flags;
           __le64 i_bmap[NILFS_INODE_BMAP_SIZE];
         #define i_device_code   i_bmap[0];
           __le64 i_xattr;
           __le32 i_generation;
           __le32 i_pad;
        };
