gid

• get gid(): number

ino

• get ino(): bigint

• the ino

  Returns bigint
• set ino(value): void

• the ino

  Parameters

  • value: bigint

  Returns void

mode

• get mode(): number

• Unix-style file mode (e.g. 0o644) that includes the item type Type of the item can be FILE, DIRECTORY, SYMLINK, or SOCKET

  Returns number
• set mode(value): void

• Unix-style file mode (e.g. 0o644) that includes the item type Type of the item can be FILE, DIRECTORY, SYMLINK, or SOCKET

  Parameters

  • value: number

  Returns void

mtimeMs

• get mtimeMs(): number

• time of last modification, in milliseconds since epoch

  Returns number
• set mtimeMs(value): void

• time of last modification, in milliseconds since epoch

  Parameters

  • value: number

  Returns void

nlink

• get nlink(): number

• Returns number

• set nlink(value): void

• Parameters

  • value: number

  Returns void

size

• get size(): number

• Size of the item in bytes. For directories/symlinks, this is normally the size of the struct that represents the item.

  Returns number
• set size(value): void

• Size of the item in bytes. For directories/symlinks, this is normally the size of the struct that represents the item.

  Parameters

  • value: number

  Returns void

uid

• get uid(): number

• the id of the user that owns the file

  Returns number
• set uid(value): void

• the id of the user that owns the file

  Parameters

  • value: number

  Returns void

toStats

• toStats(): Stats

• Handy function that converts the Inode to a Node Stats object.

  Returns Stats

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

  • stats: Readonly<Stats>

  Returns boolean

  True if any changes have occurred.
