dir
dir(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual dir(4)NAME
dir - format of directories on short-name HFS file systems
SYNOPSIS
Remarks
This entry describes the System V-compatible directory format for the HFS file system. It is provided strictly for backward compatibility
and compatibility with applications expecting a System V file system environment. It is not compatible with the similar but more general
HFS directory format in which describes a format identical to that used in an HFS file system supporting long file names up to 255 bytes in
length.
The structure defined in should be used in conjunction with the directory(3C) routines for portability to other industry UNIX implementa-
tions.
DESCRIPTION
A directory behaves exactly like an ordinary file, except that no user can write into a directory. The structure of a directory entry as
given in the header file is:
By convention, the first two entries in each directory are for and (``dot'' and ``dot dot''). The first is an entry for the directory
itself. The second is for the parent directory. The meaning of is modified for the root directory of the master file system; there is no
parent, so and have the same meaning.
