What is the meaning of each number of an inode?

Question

If I have the inode number: 263167, what is the meaning of 2, then of 6, then 3, and so on until 7...?

I did a research, but I didn't found something like this.

I want to know what is the purpose of every number of an inode. Maybe it is strange because I didn't saw this explanation before, but I know that every number has a special meaning.

Thank you all!

Answer 1

Inode numbers are arbitrary numbers assigned by the filesystem; the individual digits by themselves don't mean anything. You are probably thinking of file modes instead.
