hi list,
how can a utility like **find** command can map an inode number to a
filename?
i mean if we pass **find -inum inode_number / ** , it will show us the
files associated with that "inode_number". What is the underlying mechanism
used in all this ?
I have peeped into the findutils code but it seems horrible to figure it
out from that code .:)
thanks in advance.
