+.SH NAME
+ioctl_xfs_inumbers \- query allocation information for groups of XFS inodes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.br
+.B #include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int ioctl(int " fd ", XFS_IOC_INUMBERS, struct xfs_inumbers_req *" arg );
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Query inode allocation information for groups of XFS inodes.
+This ioctl uses
+.B struct xfs_inumbers_req
+to set up a bulk transfer with the kernel:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+struct xfs_inumbers_req {
+	struct xfs_bulk_ireq    hdr;
+	struct xfs_inumbers     inumbers[];
+};
+
+struct xfs_bulk_ireq {
+	uint64_t                ino;
+	uint32_t                flags;
+	uint32_t                icount;
+	uint32_t                ocount;
+	uint32_t                agno;
+	uint64_t                reserved[5];
+};
+.fi
+.in
+.PP
+.I hdr
+describes the information to query.
+The layout and behavior are documented in the
+.BR ioctl_xfs_bulkstat (2)
+manpage and will not be discussed further here.
+
+.PP
+.I inumbers
+is an array of
+.B struct xfs_inumbers
+which is described below.
+The array must have at least
+.I icount
+elements.
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.nf
+struct xfs_inumbers {
+	uint64_t                xi_startino;
+	uint64_t                xi_allocmask;
+	uint8_t                 xi_alloccount;
+	uint8_t                 xi_version;
+	uint8_t                 xi_padding[6];
+};
+.fi
+.in
+.PP
+This structure describes inode usage information for a group of 64 consecutive
+inode numbers.
+.PP
+.I xi_startino
+is the first inode number of this group.
+.PP
+.I xi_allocmask
+is a bitmask telling which inodes in this group are allocated.
+To clarify, bit
+.B N
+is set if inode
+.BR xi_startino + N
+is allocated.
+.PP
+.I xi_alloccount
+is the number of inodes in this group that are allocated.
+This should be equal to popcnt(xi_allocmask).
+.PP
+.I xi_version
+is the version of this data structure.
+Currently, only 1 or 5 are supported.
+.PP
+.I xi_padding[6]
+is zeroed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+The kernel was not able to copy into the userspace buffer.
+.TP
+.B EFSBADCRC
+Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EFSCORRUPTED
+Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+One of the arguments was not valid.
+.TP
+.B EIO
+An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+There was insufficient memory to perform the query.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This API is specific to XFS filesystem on the Linux kernel.
