STRUCT P9_DIRENT(9)

💖 struct p9_dirent(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the struct p9_dirent page — this is from the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "tiny struct, big responsibility" energy. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct p9_dirent — the directory entry structure. yep, that's the whole vibe. it's literally the thing that holds one dir entry. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, character for character, don't touch it, it's perfect:

struct p9_dirent {
    struct p9_qid qid;
    u64 d_off;
    unsigned char d_type;
    char d_name[256];
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

• qid — the p9 server qid for this dirent. so like, the server's whole identity tag for it 👑
• d_off — offset to the next dirent. this is how you keep the scroll going, fr fr
• d_type — type of file. is it a file? a dir? the struct knows 💀
• d_name — file name. yes bestie, the name, in a char array, iconic
