The > > You could leave out "by default". I think that the intent here was to say that by default (i.e. with no other options given, this is what the command does - return 1 or 0 based on whether or not any any inode number exceeding 32 bits is currently in use. >> +.I number >> +is used to specify an inode number, then inode command returns this >> +inode number if it's in use, or 0 if not.

This is how I would describe the behavior, feel free to use as much or as little as you like: With no arguments, the inode command will return 1 or 0, indicating whether or not any inode numbers greater than 32 bits are currently in use in the filesystem. If given an inode /number/ as an argument, the command will return /number/ or 0, depending on whether or not inode /number/ is in use. With -n /number/, the command will return the next inode number after /number/ which is in use. With -v, the command will also report the number of bits (32 or 64) used by the inode number printed in the result; if no inode /number/ was specified on the commandline, the maximum possible inode number in the system will be printed along with its size. > (What a strange command...) yup. -Eric > --D > >> >> .SH MEMORY MAPPED I/O COMMANDS >> .TP >> -- >> 2.7.4 >> >> -- >> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in >> the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >> More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Oh, I would also put this in the "other commands" section, not the "file I/O" section. -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

There's an "inode" command in xfs_io, it's used to query physical information about an inode. But there's not any information about it in xfs_io and other related man pages. So document this command in the xfs_io man page now. Signed-off-by: Zorro Lang <zlang@redhat.com> --- man/man8/xfs_io.8 | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+)
