NAME
find_inode_number - check for dentry with name
SYNOPSIS
ino_t find_inode_number(struct dentry * dir, struct qstr * name);
ARGUMENTS
dir
directory to check
name
Name to find.
DESCRIPTION
Check whether a dentry already exists for the given name, and return the inode number if it has an inode. Otherwise 0 is returned.
This routine is used to post-process directory listings for filesystems using synthetic inode numbers, and is necessary to keep getcwd working.
