+## Notes
+
+Printing raw inode numbers is only possible when listing an entire directory.
+This happens because the program uses the LibC `readdir` function, which
+will provide the raw inode numbers as they're appearing "on disk".
+In other cases, when strictly using the LibC `lstat` function the kernel
+will resolve the inode number with respect to the mount table, so if there
+is a mounted filesystem on a directory entry, `lstat` will give the root
+inode number for that filesystem.
+
