DIR(5)                        File Formats Manual                       DIR(5)

NAME
       dir - directory layout

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/dir.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  directories  of  the  V1  and  V2  file  systems are arrays of the
       following structure defined in <sys/dir.h>:

       struct direct {
            ino_t          d_ino;         /* I-node number */
            char           d_name[14];    /* Name of up to 14 characters */
       };

       The d_ino field is the inode number of the file named by d_name.  D_ino
       is zero if the directory slot isn't allocated.  This number is the same
       as st_ino returned by stat(2) unless the entry is mounted  on.   D_name
       is  the  name of up to 14 characters, null-terminated only if less then
       14 in length.  Any character other than null or '/' is allowed.

       See directory(3) for a portable way to access directories, MINIX  3  is
       probably the last system with these old V7 format directories.

SEE ALSO
       directory(3).
