How do I read the inode table?

Question

I need to be able to read the information in a ufs file system's inode table. I realize that something like the C stat function gets similar information, but this would be too slow for what we're trying to do - ncheck is a lot faster than find.
I've got the general idea of what I need to do, but I'm still fuzzy on the details. Reading the raw disk like this is fairly foreign territory for me. Does anyone have any examples or suggestions?
Our test box is an Ultra-4 running SunOS 5.8. I have root privileges.

Hi
That's because Azure Table service use EdmType http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.metadata.edm.edmtype(v=vs.110).aspx
You can get data type by codes below:
private Type GetType(EdmType edmType)
switch (edmType)
case EdmType.Binary : return typeof(byte[]);
case EdmType.Boolean : return typeof(bool);
case EdmType.DateTime : return typeof(DateTime);
case EdmType.Double : return typeof(double);
case EdmType.Guid : return typeof(Guid);
case EdmType.Int32 : return typeof(int);
case EdmType.Int64 : return typeof(long);
case EdmType.String : return typeof(string);
default: throw new Exception("not supported " + edmType);
Cast the value:
private object GetValue(EntityProperty property)
switch (property.PropertyType)
case EdmType.Binary : return property.BinaryValue;
case EdmType.Boolean : return property.BooleanValue;
case EdmType.DateTime : return property.DateTimeOffsetValue;
case EdmType.Double : return property.DoubleValue;
case EdmType.Guid : return property.GuidValue;
case EdmType.Int32 : return property.Int32Value;
case EdmType.Int64 : return property.Int64Value;
case EdmType.String : return property.StringValue;
default: throw new Exception("not supported " + property.PropertyType);
