char *name, /* file pathname */
struct stat *buf /* file status */
)
Volume Types
Description
Arguments
NFS volumes.
lstat_f() is like stat_f() except when the named file is a symbolic link. For a
symbolic link, lstat_f() returns information about the link file, and stat_f()
returns information about the file to which the link refers.
name Points to the null-terminated pathname of a file.
buf Points to a stat structure defined in , as follows:
struct stat {
mode_t st_mode; /* ownership/protection */
ino_t st_ino; /* file ID */
dev_t st_dev; /* dev ID where the volume resides */
dev_t st_rdev; /* dev ID for character or block
* special files only */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links to the file */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID */
off_t st_size; /* total size of file, in bytes */
time_t st_atime; /* file last access time */
time_t st_mtime; /* file last modify time */
time_t st_ctime; /* file last status change time */
long st_blksize; /* optimal block size for I/O ops */
long st_blocks; /* file size in blocks */
};
