Hi,
Actually, what I meant with this was, suppose I have a file name, how do I get the inode for that? And also suppose I have the inode number, how do I get the complete object of that inode for use and manipulation?
Thanks in advance
Sumit

If you have a filename, stat(2); see also lstat(2) and fstat(2).

Hi,
You can give a look on user_path_walk() and user_path_walk_link() (see
include/linux/fs.h), given you have the pathname.
Given you have the inode number, you can get one of the references to it by
using d_path() (see include/linux/sched.h). I just don't know how it works
when there is multiple references to the same inode number (hard links).

Sorry, I mean the struct file.

There's no single answer - multiple files can have the same inode number
(they're called hard links). Finding which filesystem they are on
involves walking through the mount table..

Hi,
How do I know which file has what Inode number? and its under which super block?
Thanks
