Hello i'm baffled too (but learned new word: baffled) because i knew inode was always 0 on windows.. but effectively the version suggested by Athanasius, ie gnuwin32 return some number while unxutils return 0.

>touch test.txt

>which ls.exe
>C:\various_stuffs\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\ls.exe
>
>ls -il test.txt
      0 -rw-rw-rw-   1 user     group           0 Nov 13 09:57 test.tx
+t

>C:\some_path\GnuWin32\bin\ls.exe -il test.txt
>3377699722053632 -rw-rw-rw-  1 lt 0 0 2014-11-13 09:57 test.txt

Can someone tell us if we can use reliably this inode number?

Thanks

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
