Hi all,
i want to read the superblock & inode for a block device.
I dont want to use readdir to get the inode and dir name.I want to do it
like the skeleton below,can someone help me??


#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

struct what_struct d; /* What struct to use for inode*/
struct what_struct_sb sb; /*What struct to use for superblock */
int fd;

fd=open("/dev/hda1",0);
lseek(fd,4096L,0); /* Is this the first inode?? Where is the next one?*/
/*Where is the superblock allocated in the disk */
read(fd,&d,sizeof(d));
/*Retrieve information now ....*/

return 0;
}


Can i have a working example please???
Thanks in advance.
