 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 of these data types are accessible to user code.

    The form daddrt is used for disk addresses except in an inode on disk
    (see filesystem(FP)).  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 labelt variables
    are used to save the processor state while another process is running.
