The reason the reference to -inum was deleted is that the concept
of an inumber relates to one specific (well, two, but I digress)
implementation of the filesystem.  Thus all mention of them (inodes)
were expurgated from the SVID.  And since all recent sysV manuals
are derived from the SVID (choke gasp) they all lack any information
on how things work.
