$inode->dir-
Returns true if the current inode refers to a directory.
$inode->link-
Returns true if the current inode is a symlink.
$inode->file-

$inode->char-
Returns true if the current inode is a character device.
$inode->block-
Returns true if the current inode is a block device.
$inode->fifo-
Returns true if the current inode is a FIFO.
$inode->major-
If the current inode is a block or character device, return the major number.
$inode->minor-
If the current inode is a block or character device, return the minor number.
$inode->perms-
Returns the permissions bitfield value of the current inode's mode attribute.
$inode->readable-
Returns true if the inode is readable by anyone.
$inode->writable-
Returns true if the inode is writable by anyone.
$inode->executable-
Returns true if the inode is executable by anyone.
$inode->setuid-
Returns true if the inode has a setuid bit set.
$inode->setgid-
Returns true if the inode has a setgid bit set.
$inode->update(@st)-
Updates the current inode object with a list of values as returned by stat().
$inode->directory-
If the current inode is a directory, return the directory object held by it. Otherwise, the following exception is issued:
$inode->empty-
Uses the above
$inode->directory()call to obtain the directory for the current inode, and returns the result of$directory->empty().
