i-node -- Definition COHERENT system file identifier Each file on a COHERENT file system is identified by a unique number, called an i-node number or i-number. Each i-node contains information about a file: its mode, link count, user identifier, group identifier, size, location on the file system, access time, modify time, and creation time. The user refers to a file by a file name, stored in a directory; the directory entry identifies the file by its i-node number. A device and i- node number together uniquely specify a file. The headers ino.h and i- node.h define, respectively, disk i-nodes and memory i-nodes. See Also Using COHERENT
