If I understand your question correctly, that is not possible. a linux_dirent64 will have information about your current filename (ie.. name, record len etc.). Just by using this it is not possible to get a unique parent for the filename. For example if you have a filename foo you may have different parents like /home/mkatiyar/A/foo /home/mkatiyar/B/foo In such cases what would you expect to get ? the parent should be 'A' or 'B' Thanks - Manish > I've looked at stat() but it wasnt very helpful.
