.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Each file has an inode containing metadata about the file.
|
|
|
|
An application can retrieve this metadata using
|
|
|
|
.BR stat (2)
|
|
|
|
(or related calls), which returns a
|
|
|
|
.I stat
|
|
|
|
structure, or
|
|
|
|
.BR statx (2),
|
|
|
|
which returns a
|
|
|
|
.I statx
|
|
|
|
structure.

Each inode (as well as the associated file) resides in a filesystem
|
|
|
|
that is hosted on a device.
|
|
|
|
That device is identified by the combination of its major ID
|
|
|
|
(which identifies the general class of device)
|
|
|
|
and minor ID (which identifies a specific instance in the general class).

Each file in a filesystem has a unique inode number.
|
|
|
|
Inode numbers are guaranteed to be unique only within a filesystem
|
|
|
|
(i.e., the same inode numbers may be used by different filesystems,
|
|
|
|
which is the reason that hard links may not cross filesystem boundaries).
|
|
|
|
This field contains the file's inode number.

The set-group-ID bit
|
|
|
|
.RB ( S_ISGID )
|
|
|
|
has several special uses.
|
|
|
|
For a directory, it indicates that BSD semantics is to be used
|
|
|
|
for that directory: files created there inherit their group ID from
|
|
|
|
the directory, not from the effective group ID of the creating process,
|
|
|
|
and directories created there will also get the
|
|
|
|
.B S_ISGID
|
|
|
|
bit set.
|
|
|
|
For a file that does not have the group execution bit
|
|
|
|
.RB ( S_IXGRP )
|
|
|
|
set,
|
|
|
|
the set-group-ID bit indicates mandatory file/record locking.

.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
For pseudofiles that are autogenerated by the kernel, the file size
|
|
|
|
(\fIstat.st_size\fP; \fIstatx.stx_size\fP)
|
|
|
|
reported by the kernel is not accurate.
|
|
|
|
For example, the value 0 is returned for many files under the
|
|
|
|
.I /proc
|
|
|
|
directory,
|
|
|
|
while various files under
|
|
|
|
.IR /sys
|
|
|
|
report a size of 4096 bytes, even though the file content is smaller.
|
|
|
|
For such files, one should simply try to read as many bytes as possible
|
|
|
|
(and append \(aq\e0\(aq to the returned buffer
|
|
|
|
if it is to be interpreted as a string).
