Times are encoded in seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan‐ uary 1, 1970. The major and minor parts of a device code specify kind and unit number of a device and are installation-dependent. Offsets are measured in bytes from the beginning of a file. The label_t vari‐ ables are used to save the processor state while another process is running.
