An inode holds file metadata: object type, owner and group identities, access permissions, file size, access/modification/status-change timestamps, and the hard link count. It also holds the information locating the contents, traditionally direct addresses and indirect block pointers. Device-special files instead need device-identifying information. The file's name and parent pathname belong to directory entries, not to the ordinary inode.

inode = metadata and content-location information .
