d_mode

Specifies the file access mode. For a list of possible values, see File Access Modes and NetWare Attributes.

d_ino

Specifies the directory entry number assigned to the entry specified by the d_name field.

d_size

Specifies the entry's size, in bytes; used for files only.

d_spare

Currently unused.

d_pad1

Provides padding.

d_pad2

Provides padding.

d_pad3

Provides padding.

d_namelen
