To be safe I'd use it in an u64 type, I guess. The *internal* kernel stat
structure uses u64:
That would be wrong. To store st_ino values, you should be using the ino_t
type, like for file sizes/offsets (st_size, seeking, etc.) you should be
using off_t. Both of these types depend on _FILE_OFFSET_BITS macro.
