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