What is an inode?

Answer Posted / nick

Each file in the unix operating system has a unique inode.
this inode is maintained to get the basic info about the
file as stated in above answer's. the main purpose of inode,
is that multiple process in unix os can access the same file
in (read mode) and inode helps kernel to maintain only one
copy of inode in main memory called as incore inode even if
10 process are accessing the same file...
