.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Obtain the struct inode corresponding to a specific normal inode (i.e. a
file or directory).
.PP
If the inode is in the cache, it is just returned with an increased
reference count. Otherwise, a new struct inode is allocated and initialized,
and finally \fBntfs_read_locked_inode\fR is called to read in the inode and
fill in the remainder of the inode structure.
.PP
Return the struct inode on success. Check the return value with \fBIS_ERR\fR and
if true, the function failed and the error code is obtained from \fBPTR_ERR\fR\&.
