NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       struct inode * ilookup(struct super_block * sb, unsigned long ino);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       sb
13           super block of file system to search
14
15       ino
16           inode number to search for
17

DESCRIPTION

19       ilookup uses ifind_fast to search for the inode ino in the inode cache.
20       This is for file systems where the inode number is sufficient for
21       unique identification of an inode.
22
23       If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented
24       reference count.
25
26       Otherwise NULL is returned.
