The i_ino member is the same as in the stat(2) structure; you can write
a quick little program to print out inode numbers from command line
arguments you pass in describing files you are interested in.

The fun thing is, stat(1) prints out the inode numbers.

$ stat /bin/sh
  File: "/bin/sh" -> "bash"
  Size: 4          Blocks: 0         Symbolic Link
Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx)         Uid: (    0/    root)  Gid: (    0/    root)
Device: 302        Inode: 464936     Links: 1    
Access: Mon Dec  2 23:48:30 2002
Modify: Fri Mar 23 03:15:19 2001
Change: Fri Mar 15 12:45:09 2002

(Note the Inode: 464936 in the output; that is the i_ino number of
/bin/sh.)
