TYPES(5)TYPES(5)NAME
types - primitive system data types
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
DESCRIPTION
The data types defined in the include file are used in UNIX system
code; some data of these types are accessible to user code:
The form daddr_t is used for disk addresses except in an i-node on
disk, see fs(5). Times are encoded in seconds since 00:00:00 GMT,
January 1, 1970. The major and minor parts of a device code specify
kind and unit number of a device and are installation-dependent.
Offsets are measured in bytes from the beginning of a file. The
label_t variables are used to save the processor state while another
process is running.
