<sys/_dir.h> -- definitions for 4.2,4.3BSD directories
last edit: 25-Apr-1987 D A Gwyn
A directory consists of some number of blocks of DIRBLKSIZ bytes each,
where DIRBLKSIZ is chosen such that it can be transferred to disk in a
single atomic operation (e.g., 512 bytes on most machines).
Each DIRBLKSIZ-byte block contains some number of directory entry
structures, which are of variable length. Each directory entry has the
beginning of a (struct direct) at the front of it, containing its
filesystem-unique ident number, the length of the entry, and the length
of the name contained in the entry. These are followed by the NUL-
terminated name padded to a (long) boundary with 0 bytes. The maximum
length of a name in a directory is MAXNAMELEN.
The macro DIRSIZ(dp) gives the amount of space required to represent a
directory entry. Free space in a directory is represented by entries
that have dp->d_reclen > DIRSIZ(dp). All DIRBLKSIZ bytes in a
directory block are claimed by the directory entries; this usually
results in the last entry in a directory having a large dp->d_reclen.
When entries are deleted from a directory, the space is returned to the
previous entry in the same directory block by increasing its
dp->d_reclen. If the first entry of a directory block is free, then
its dp->d_fileno is set to 0; entries other than the first in a
directory do not normally have dp->d_fileno set to 0.

The DIRSIZ macro gives the minimum record length which will hold the
directory entry. This requires the amount of space in a (struct
direct) without the d_name field, plus enough space for the name with a
terminating NUL character, rounded up to a (long) boundary.
(Note that Berkeley didn't properly compensate for struct padding,
but we nevertheless have to use the same size as the actual system.)
