Inodes store information about files and directories (folders), such as file ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions), and file type.

Within a POSIX system, a [[file]] has the following attributes[10] which may be retrieved by the <code>[[stat]]</code> system call:
 
 
 
* Device ID (this identifies the device containing the file; that is, the scope of uniqueness of the serial number).
 
* File serial numbers. (Inode)
 
* The file mode which determines the file type and how the file's owner, its group, and others can access the file.
 
* A link count telling how many hard links point to the inode.
 
* The User ID of the file's owner.
 
* The Group ID of the file.
 
* The device ID of the file if it is a device file.
 
* The size of the file in bytes.
 
* Timestamps telling when the inode itself was last modified (ctime, inode change time), the file content last modified (mtime, modification time), and last accessed (atime, access time).
 
* The preferred I/O block size.
 
* The number of blocks allocated to this file.
