Hello I'm using kernel 2.4.18. I'm searching for a function ( or a group of functions" to return the inode number given a path name. Someone suggested that i see fs/namei.c. But the comments say, it's work is done in a function "lookup_dentry". But i can't seem to find out where it is. I even grepped the entire source code, and though it is called a few times, there is no definition of such a function. Please help, this is highly confusing regards Sridhar -- Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing -- Murphy's Laws on Work -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
