|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stat
|
|
function obtains information about the file pointed to by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
Read, write or execute
|
|
permission of the named file is not required, but all directories
|
|
listed in the path name leading to the file must be searchable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn Lstat
|
|
is like
|
|
.Fn stat
|
|
except in the case where the named file is a symbolic link,
|
|
in which case
|
|
.Fn lstat
|
|
returns information about the link,
|
|
while
|
|
.Fn stat
|
|
returns information about the file the link references.
|
|
Unlike other filesystem objects,
|
|
symbolic links do not have an owner, group, access mode, times, etc.
|
|
Instead, these attributes are taken from the directory that
|
|
contains the link.
|
|
The only attributes returned from an
|
|
.Fn lstat
|
|
that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type (S_IFLNK),
|
|
size, blocks, and link count (always 1).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fstat
|
|
obtains the same information about an open file
|
|
known by the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sb
|
|
argument is a pointer to a
|
|
.Fn stat
|
|
structure
|
|
as defined by
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/stat.h
|
|
(shown below)
|
|
and into which information is placed concerning the file.

The time-related fields of

are as follows:

|

|

Time when file data last accessed.

If

|
|
.Fa struct stat
|
|
are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXXst_blksize
|
|
.It st_blksize
|
|
The optimal I/O block size for the file.
|
|
.It st_blocks
|
|
The actual number of blocks allocated for the file in 512-byte units.
|
|
As short symbolic links are stored in the inode, this number may
|
|
be zero.
|
|
.El

|
Applying
|
|
.Fn fstat
|

to a socket (and thus to a pipe)
|
|
returns a zeroed buffer,

except for the blocksize field,
|
|
and a unique device and inode number.
