hi all,
is there any way to find out the offset or the directory entry number of

a

quoted

file in the directory ?

let me explain a bit more:

when we open a drectory via open(2) and find out the directory entry by
readdir(2,3) or getdents(2) it automatically increases to the next
directory entry and fills in the dirent structure.
but in kernel space , let we have the parent directory name and child of

it

quoted

. so is there any way to figure out at what  offset or what number

(exactly)

quoted

that perticular child will occur in the directory contains?
