NAME
intro - introduction to file formats
DESCRIPTION
This section outlines the formats of various files. The C
structure declarations for the file formats are given where
applicable. Usually, the header files containing these
structure declarations can be found in the directories
/usr/include or /usr/include/sys. For inclusion in C
language programs, however, the syntax #include <filename.h>
or #include <sys/filename.h> should be used.
Because the UNIX operating system now allows the existence
of multiple file system types, there are several instances
of multiple manual pages with the same name. These pages
all display the name of the FSType to which they pertain
centered and in parentheses at the top of the page.
