TYPES(F)                                   UNIX System V



     Name
          types - primitive system data types


     Syntax
          #include <sys/types.h>


     Description
          The data types defined in the include file <sys/types.h> are
          used  in  UNIX  system  code;  some  data of these types are
          accessible to user code.

          The form daddr_t is used for disk  addresses  except  in  an
          inode  on  disk,  see  filesystem(F).   Times are encoded in
          seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, 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 label_t
          variables are used to save the processor state while another
          process is running.
