STRUCT P9_IATTR_DOTL(9)

💅 struct p9_iattr_dotl(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct from the 9p world and honestly? she's giving backstage-pass energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct p9_iattr_dotl — the P9 inode attribute for setattr 💖

like, the little bundle of "here's what I wanna change about this inode" that gets handed over when you do a setattr. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct p9_iattr_dotl {
    u32 valid;
    u32 mode;
    kuid_t uid;
    kgid_t gid;
    u64 size;
    u64 atime_sec;
    u64 atime_nsec;
    u64 mtime_sec;
    u64 mtime_nsec;
 };

look at her. nine fields. immaculate. 👑

🦋 Members 🦋

• valid — the bitfield that literally tells you which of the other fields are actually valid, same as in struct iattr. it's the vibe check of the whole struct ngl 🫶
• mode — the file permission bits 🔐
• uid — the user id of the owner, fr fr
• gid — the group id 🍓
• size — the file size
• atime_sec — last access time, in seconds ⭐
