dir(4)                    FILE FORMATS                     dir(4)



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 mas-
     ter  file  system;  there  is  no parent, so .. has the same
     meaning as . has.
