inode

The metadata structure of Linux and Unix file systems which contain values that describe a file including MACtimes, permissions, size, owner and much more.  Typically inodes do not contain the name of the file.  This metadata structure is called a Master File Table (MFT) entry in NTFS and a Directory Entry in FAT file systems.
