Per current man page (shared between getdents and getdents64):
struct linux_dirent {
unsigned long d_ino; /* Inode number */
unsigned long d_off; /* Offset to next linux_dirent */
unsigned short d_reclen; /* Length of this linux_dirent */
char d_name[]; /* Filename (null-terminated) */
/* length is actually (d_reclen - 2 -
offsetof(struct linux_dirent, d_name) */
/*
char pad; // Zero padding byte
char d_type; // File type (only since Linux 2.6.4;
// offset is (d_reclen - 1))
*/
}
However, when I issue this system call, the data seems to be:
struct linux_dirent {
unsigned long d_ino; // 8 bytes
unsigned long d_off; // 8 bytes
unsigned short d_reclen; // 2 bytes
char d_type; // 1 byte
char d_name[]; // null-terminated
char pad[]; // 0..7 bytes
}
Most important is that `d_type` is before `d_name`, not after.
Tested on ext4 and virtual like tmpfs, devpts, cgroup, etc.
