Name
find_inode_number -- check for dentry with name
Synopsis
ino_t find_inode_number (struct dentry * dir, struct qstr * name);
Arguments
- dir
directory to check
- name
Name to find.
Description
Check whether a dentry already exists for the given name,
and return the inode number if it has an inode. Otherwise
0 is returned.
This routine is used to post-process directory listings for
filesystems using synthetic inode numbers, and is necessary
to keep getcwd working.
