Super Block

This C program reads and summarizes the contents of the super block of a UNIX file system. It opens the specified device, reads the first 1024 bytes which contains the super block, and then prints out key fields like the inode count, block count, free block count, volume name, mount time, and magic signature. This provides an overview of metadata stored in the file system super block.
