4.4.21: stat - Gets information about a file

CALLING SEQUENCE:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int stat(
  const char  *path,
  struct stat *buf
);

STATUS CODES:

EACCES: Search permission is denied for a directory in a file's path prefix.
EBADF: Invalid file descriptor.
ENAMETOOLONG: Length of a filename string exceeds PATH_MAX and _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.
ENOENT: A file or directory does not exist.
ENOTDIR: A component of the specified pathname was not a directory when a directory was expected.

DESCRIPTION:

The path argument points to a pathname for a file. Read, write, or execute permission for the file is not required, but all directories listed in path must be searchable. The stat() function obtains information about the named file and writes it to the area pointed to by buf.

NOTES:

NONE
