Per the man page for stat(2):
The sb argument is a pointer to a stat() structure as
defined by <sys/stat.h> (shown below) and into which
information is placed concerning the file.
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* inode's device */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode's number */
mode_t st_mode; /* inode protection mode */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of the file's owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of the file's group */
dev_t st_rdev; /* device type */
...
}
And /usr/include/sys/stat.h repeats that verbatim. What
I'm trying to understand is what the values in st_rdev
represent.
Is the value returned in that field documented anywhere? I
grep'd around in /usr/include but didn't find much to go on.
Thanks,
