How to go from dev+inode to filename(s)?
|
|
|

If I have a file's device and inode, is there a simple way to get
the filename(s) associated with this dev+inode pair?
Thanks!

No. You have to search the filesystem mounted on the device, calling
lstat() on each directory entry to see if it matches the inode.

I responded to this on one of the other newsgroups you multi-posted
this to. Please crosspost rather than multipost, it's easier for you
and more efficient.
