The buffer of type struct stat
used by the target and gdb
is defined as follows:
struct stat { unsigned int st_dev; /* device */ unsigned int st_ino; /* inode */ mode_t st_mode; /* protection */ unsigned int st_nlink; /* number of hard links */ unsigned int st_uid; /* user ID of owner */ unsigned int st_gid; /* group ID of owner */ unsigned int st_rdev; /* device type (if inode device) */ unsigned long st_size; /* total size, in bytes */ unsigned long st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */ unsigned long st_blocks; /* number of blocks allocated */ time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */ time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */ time_t st_ctime; /* time of last change */ };
The integral datatypes conform to the definitions given in the appropriate section (see Integral Datatypes, for details) so this structure is of size 64 bytes.
The values of several fields have a restricted meaning and/or range of values.
st_dev
st_ino
st_mode
st_uid
st_gid
st_rdev
st_atime
st_mtime
st_ctime
The target gets a struct stat
of the above representation and is
responsible for coercing it to the target representation before
continuing.
Note that due to size differences between the host, target, and protocol
representations of struct stat
members, these members could eventually
get truncated on the target.
