9  * This is a header for the common implementation of dirent
10  * to fs on-disk file type conversion.  Although the fs on-disk
11  * bits are specific to every file system, in practice, many
12  * file systems use the exact same on-disk format to describe
13  * the lower 3 file type bits that represent the 7 POSIX file
14  * types.
15  *
16  * It is important to note that the definitions in this
17  * header MUST NOT change. This would break both the
18  * userspace ABI and the on-disk format of filesystems
19  * using this code.
20  *
21  * All those file systems can use this generic code for the
22  * conversions.
