I hope I've got this right: A file's `inode` contains data such as inode number, time of last modification, ownership etc. – and also the entry: »***deletion time***«. Which made me curious:  

*Deleting* a file means removing it's inode **number**, thus marking the storage space linked to it as available. There are tools to recover (accidentally) deleted files (e.g. from a journal, if available). And I know the `stat` command.

Question
--------

**What does a "deleted file" entry look like in the journal?**

My guess is a quite unspectacular looking output as such as if issued the `stat` command.

I know that deleting a file and trying to recover it would be a first-hand experience, but then I'm not at a point where I could do this without outside help and I want to understand exactly what I'm doing. Getting into data resurrection would be sidetracking for me at the moment, as I try to get a firm grip on the basic stuff... I'm not lazy, this isn't homework, this is for private study.
