update

  • update(stats): boolean

  • Updates the Inode using information from the stats object. Used by file systems at sync time, e.g.:

    • Program opens file and gets a File object.
    • Program mutates file. File object is responsible for maintaining metadata changes locally -- typically in a Stats object.
    • Program closes file. File object's metadata changes are synced with the file system.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    True if any changes have occurred.
