Method Detail

getMode

public int getMode()

Get the mode of the object. The least significant 12 bits control the object's access permissions. The next 4 bits control the type of the object.

Returns:

the mode

setMode

public void setMode(int aMode)

Set the mode.

Parameters:

aMode - the mode.

getMode()

getNumLinks

public long getNumLinks()

Get the number of hard links to this file. A value of zero indicates that the object is deleted. A hard link is a directory entry pointing directly at this object (not via symlinks).

Returns:

the number of links

setNumLinks

public void setNumLinks(long aNumLinks)

getUserId

public long getUserId()

Get the user id of the object's owner.

Returns:

the user id

setUserId

public void setUserId(long aUserId)

getGroupId

public long getGroupId()

Get the group id of the object's owner.

Returns:

the group id

setGroupId

public void setGroupId(long aGroupId)

getSize

public long getSize()

Get the size of the data associated with the object. This is mostly meaningful with normal files.

Returns:

the size

setSize

public void setSize(long aSize)

getAccessTime

public long getAccessTime()

Get the time the data was last accessed.

Returns:

the access time.

setAccessTime

public void setAccessTime(long aAccessTime)

getModifyTime

public long getModifyTime()

Get the time the data was last modified.

Returns:

the access time.

setModifyTime

public void setModifyTime(long aModifyTime)

getChangedTime

public long getChangedTime()

Get the time this Inode metadata was last changed.

Returns:

long

setChangedTime

public void setChangedTime(long aChangedTime)
