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.

strace is a lot easier than reading code for something like that.
Looks to me like find is just walking the tree and calling
newfstatat() on every file.
Here's a short section from strace. Notice in the directory walk it
gets to charmaps. (I think that's /usr/share/i18n/charmaps).
I'd guess that based on the return from newfstatat() it decides its a
directory, so it call getdents64()
It then starts calling newfstatat() for everything in that directory.
(Not as sexy as you hoped I suspect.)
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "charmaps", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=12288,
...}, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0
open("charmaps", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
getdents64(4, /* 229 entries */, 32768) = 8024

Mohit,
Here's some more precise info as you asked in a PM.
I'm testing with openSUSE 11.4 which is a pretty current release.
It's a 64-bit machine / OS. I suspect that's important in exactly
which stat() call is used by find.
The exact command I running is
> sudo strace find /usr -inum 100 2> /tmp/strace.out
I assume you know 2> will redirect stderr. So all of the strace
prints go to my tmp file.
Then I wait about 10 or 20 seconds and do a control-c. That way the
search is killed in the middle and the last part of strace.out is
relative to the search part, not just some termination logic.
Then looking at /tmp/strace.out and pulling out what looks to a be
logically important chunk from the end of the file I have:
<snip a bunch of stuff. pick up in what appears to be a directory scan>

I can't say I've ever seen newfstatat() before but based on a little
googling it seems to be a version of fstat which is natively 64-bit.
Good Luck

My system doesn't have a system call like newfstatat(). But i suspect
(looking at the strace output) that from the starting search directory find
opens the dirent stream and manually check inode number (if option -inum)
passed to it using fstatat() .

Hmm...actually I think it shouldn't need to do a if all you are trying
to do is to find a file by inode number. It can be done just by using
directory entries and doing a match of the name. The only reason I can
think of doing a stat is to check if some entry is of directory type
so that it can descend down.
but then I tried "strace find . -maxdepth 1 -inum 5" to limit the
descend only to current directory, but unfortunately find still calls
stat :-(, don't know why.
