TYPES(5) UNIX Programmer's Manual TYPES(5) NAME types - primitive system data types SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> DESCRIPTION The data types defined in the include file are used in UNIX system code; some data of these types are accessible to user code: /* * Copyright (c) 1986 Regents of the University of California. * All rights reserved.

Times are encoded in seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, January 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 variables are used to save the processor state while another process is running.
