NAME

dir (s5) − format of s5 directories

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/fs/s5dir.h>

DESCRIPTION

A directory behaves exactly like an ordinary file, save that no user may write into a directory.  The fact that a file is a directory is indicated by a bit in the mode word of its i-node entry [see the s5-specific inode(4)].  The structure of a directory entry as given in the include file is:

#ifndef  DIRSIZ
#define  DIRSIZ  14
#endif
struct direct
{
     o_ino_t    d_ino;/∗ s5 inode type ∗/
     char       d_name[DIRSIZ];
};

By convention, the first two entries in each directory are . for the entry itself and .. for the parent directory.  The meaning of .. is modified for the root directory of the master file system; there is no parent, so .. has the same meaning as . has.
