>Description:
when asking for "man stat" the struct fields are described:
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 or hard links to the file */
>How-To-Repeat:
"number or hard" --> "number of hard" --- typo
btw, "inode protection mode" is not accurate --- it's more than that, as
described later on in the man page. How about just leaving it
as "inode's mode"
Could be:
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* inode's device */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode's number */
mode_t st_mode; /* inode's mode */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links to the file */
