hi all,<br>is there any way to find out the offset or the directory entry number of a file in the directory ?<br><br>let me explain a bit more: <br><br>when we open a drectory via open(2) and find out the directory entry by readdir(2,3) or getdents(2) it automatically increases to the next directory entry and fills in the dirent structure.<br>
but in kernel space , let we have the parent directory name and child of it . so is there any way to figure out at what offset or what number (exactly) that perticular child will occur in the directory contains?<br clear="all">
