There's an "inode" command in xfs_io, it's used to query physical information about an inode. But there's not any information about it in xfs_io and other related man pages. So document this command in the xfs_io man page now. Signed-off-by: Zorro Lang <zlang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, This V2 follow Eric's suggestion, changed some description, and moved the inode command from "FILE I/O" section to "OTHER COMMANDS" section.
