Subject[OFFTOPIC] f_pos ?
From
Date
Hi,

I try to understand how readdir process works and I can't understand
f_pos management :

Having in mind things work that way :

user : ls
glibc :
open (->sys_open)
getdentries64 (->sys_getdentries64)

kernel:
sys_getdentries64
->vfs_readdir
->ext2_readdir

At that point, I don't understand why ext2_readdir is playing with
filp->f_pos .... It should be 0 ...Why does it care about offset ?

Thanks in advance for your precious help,
FabF
