NAME
types - primitive system data types
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
DESCRIPTION
The data types defined in types.h are used in UNIX System code. Some
data of these types are accessible to user code:
typedef struct { int r[1]; } *physadr;
typedef long clockt;
typedef long daddrt;
typedef char * caddrt;
typedef unsigned char unchar;
typedef unsigned short ushort;
typedef unsigned int uint;
typedef unsigned long ulong;
typedef unsigned long inot;
typedef long uidt;
typedef long gidt;
typedef ulong nlinkt;
typedef ulong modet;
typedef short cntt;
typedef long timet;
typedef int labelt[24];
typedef ulong devt;
typedef long offt;
typedef long pidt;
typedef unsigned long paddrt;
typedef int keyt;
typedef unsigned char uset;
typedef short sysidt;
typedef short indext;
typedef short lockt;
typedef unsigned int sizet;
The form daddrt is used for disk addresses except in an i-node on
disk, see fs(4). Times are encoded in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC,
January 1, 1970. The major and minor parts of a device code specify
kind and unit number of a device and are installation-dependent.
Offsets are measured in bytes from the beginning of a file. The
labelt variables are used to save the processor state while another
process is running.
