7       (ignoring fallthroughs)

SYNOPSIS

10       bool d_really_is_positive(const struct dentry * dentry);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       dentry
14           The dentry in question
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Returns true if the dentry represents a name that maps to an inode (ie.
18       ->d_inode is not NULL). The dentry might still represent a whiteout if
19       that is represented on medium as a 0,0 chardev.

21       Note! (1) This should be used *only* by a filesystem to examine its own
22       dentries. It should not be used to look at some other filesystem's
23       dentries. (2) It should also be used in combination with d_inode to get
24       the inode.
