DIR(5)								File Formats Manual							    DIR(5)

NAME

       dir - format of directories

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/dir.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 flag word of its i-node entry; see fs(5).  The structure of a directory entry as given in the include file is:

	      /*
	       * A directory consists of some number of blocks of DIRBLKSIZ
	       * bytes, where DIRBLKSIZ is chosen such that it can be transferred
	       * to disk in a single atomic operation (e.g. 512 bytes on most machines).
	       *
	       * Each DIRBLKSIZ byte block contains some number of directory entry
	       * structures, which are of variable length.  Each directory entry has
	       * a struct direct at the front of it, containing its inode number,
	       * the length of the entry, and the length of the name contained in
	       * the entry.  These are followed by the name padded to a 4 byte boundary
	       * with null bytes.  All names are guaranteed null terminated.
	       * The maximum length of a name in a directory is MAXNAMLEN.
	       *
	       * The macro DIRSIZ(dp) gives the amount of space required to represent
	       * a directory entry.  Free space in a directory is represented by
	       * entries which have dp->d_reclen > DIRSIZ(dp).	All DIRBLKSIZ bytes
	       * in a directory block are claimed by the directory entries.  This
	       * usually results in the last entry in a directory having a large
	       * dp->d_reclen.	When entries are deleted from a directory, the
	       * space is returned to the previous entry in the same directory
	       * block by increasing its dp->d_reclen.	If the first entry of
	       * a directory block is free, then its dp->d_ino is set to 0.
	       * Entries other than the first in a directory do not normally have
	       * dp->d_ino set to 0.
	       */

	      #define DIRBLKSIZ 512

	      #define MAXNAMLEN 63

	      /*
	       * The DIRSIZ macro gives the minimum record length which will hold
	       * the directory entry.  This requires the amount of space in struct direct
	       * without the d_name field, plus enough space for the name with a terminating
	       * null byte (dp->d_namlen+1), rounded up to a 4 byte boundary.
	       */
	      #undef DIRSIZ
	      #define DIRSIZ(dp) 
		  ((((sizeof (struct direct) - (MAXNAMLEN+1)) + (dp)->d_namlen+1) + 3) &~ 3)

	      struct  direct {
		      ino_t	d_ino;
		      short	d_reclen;
		      short	d_namlen;
		      char	d_name[MAXNAMLEN + 1];
		      /* typically shorter */
	      };

	      struct _dirdesc {
		      int	dd_fd;
		      long	dd_loc;
		      long	dd_size;
		      char	dd_buf[DIRBLKSIZ];
	      };

       By convention, the first two entries in each directory are for `.' and `..'.  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 ("/"), where `..' has the
       same meaning as `.'.

BUGS

       The 63 character MAXNAMLEN value is shorter than the 255 characters allowed by 4BSD.  This could lead to file name portability problems	in
       unusual circumstances.

       The  disk  format  of  directories is only slightly different from the 4BSD directory format, the inode number is of type ino_t rather than
       u_long to reduce the amount of 32 bit arithmetic in the kernel.
