混在一起写了

unsigned char d_type

    This is the type of the file, possibly unknown. The following constants are defined for its value:

    DT_UNKNOWN
        The type is unknown. Only some filesystems have full support to return the type of the file, others might always return this value.

         类型未知。少数文件系统会出现此函数不支持的文件类型，另一些则总是返回这个值。译者注：总之这个值是为了应对不兼容的文件系统而设置的。

    DT_REG
        A regular file.

        常规文件

    DT_DIR
        A directory.

        目录

    DT_FIFO
        A named pipe, or FIFO. See FIFO Special Files.

        一个命名管道，或FIFO。

    DT_SOCK
        A local-domain socket.

        套接字

    DT_CHR
        A character device.

         字符设备

    DT_BLK
        A block device.

         块设备

    DT_LNK
        A symbolic link.

d_type的具体数值

以下内容转自http://blog.csdn.net/angle_birds/article/details/8503039

 d_type表示档案类型：
  
enum
{ 
    DT_UNKNOWN = 0, 
 # define DT_UNKNOWN DT_UNKNOWN 
     DT_FIFO = 1, 
 # define DT_FIFO DT_FIFO 
     DT_CHR = 2, 
 # define DT_CHR DT_CHR 
     DT_DIR = 4, 
 # define DT_DIR DT_DIR 
     DT_BLK = 6, 
 # define DT_BLK DT_BLK 
     DT_REG = 8, 
 # define DT_REG DT_REG 
     DT_LNK = 10, 
 # define DT_LNK DT_LNK 
     DT_SOCK = 12, 
 # define DT_SOCK DT_SOCK 
     DT_WHT = 14 
 # define DT_WHT DT_WHT 
};
