Why do you need to know?  The purpose of using a typedef
in a standard header file to define the st_ino type is
to allow it to correspond to different types (e.g., int
vs long) on different systems.  In turn this allows you
to write a program that will run on any of them without
change.

If the answer is that you want to declare variables to
hold values of type st_ino, the answer is to declare
those variables to be of type st_ino.
