- STAT(2) Minix Programmer's Manual STAT(2)
- NAME
- stat, lstat, fstat - get file status
- SYNOPSIS
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <sys/stat.h>
- int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf)
- int lstat(const char *path, struct stat *buf) (Minix-vmd)
- int fstat(int fd, struct stat *buf)
- DESCRIPTION
- Stat obtains information about the file 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 reachable.
- Lstat is like stat except in the case where the named file is a symbolic
- link, in which case lstat returns information about the link, while stat
- returns information about the file the link references. (Minix-vmd)
- Fstat obtains the same information about an open file referenced by the
- argument descriptor, such as would be obtained by an open call. Pipe
- descriptors look like named pipes with a link count of zero. The st_size
- field of pipes or named pipes shows the amount of bytes currently
- buffered in the pipe.
- Buf is a pointer to a stat structure into which information is placed
- concerning the file. The contents of the structure pointed to by buf is
- as follows:
- struct stat {
- dev_t st_dev; /* device inode resides on */
- ino_t st_ino; /* this inode's number */
- mode_t st_mode; /* file mode, protection bits, etc. */
- nlink_t st_nlink; /* number or hard links to the file */
- uid_t st_uid; /* user-id of the file's owner */
- gid_t st_gid; /* group-id of the file's owner */
- dev_t st_rdev; /* the device type, for inode that is device */
- off_t st_size; /* total size of file */
- time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
- time_t st_mtime; /* time of last data modification */
- time_t st_ctime; /* time of last file status change */
- };
- st_atime Time when file data was last read or modified. Changed by
- the following system calls: mknod(2), utime(2), read(2), and
- write(2). For reasons of efficiency, st_atime is not set
- when a directory is searched, although this would be more
- logical.

- STAT(2) Minix Programmer's Manual STAT(2)
- st_mtime Time when data was last modified. It is not set by changes
- of owner, group, link count, or mode. Changed by the
- following system calls: mknod(2), utime(2), write(2).
- st_ctime Time when file status was last changed. It is set both both
- by writing and changing the i-node. Changed by the following
- system calls: chmod(2) chown(2), link(2), mknod(2),
- rename(2), unlink(2), utime(2), write(2).
- The file type information in st_mode has bits:
- #define S_IFMT 0170000 /* type of file */
- #define S_IFIFO 0010000 /* named pipe */
- #define S_IFCHR 0020000 /* character special */
- #define S_IFDIR 0040000 /* directory */
- #define S_IFBLK 0060000 /* block special */
- #define S_IFREG 0100000 /* regular */
- #define S_IFLNK 0120000 /* symbolic link (Minix-vmd) */
- The mode bits 0007777 encode set-uid/gid bits and permission bits (see
- chmod(2)).
- RETURN VALUE
- Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value
- of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
- ERRORS
- Stat and lstat will fail if one or more of the following are true:
- [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
- [ENAMETOOLONG] The path name exceeds PATH_MAX characters.
- [ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
- [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path
- prefix.
- [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
- the pathname. (Minix-vmd)
- [EFAULT] Buf or name points to an invalid address.
- [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the
- file system.
- Fstat will fail if one or both of the following are true:
- 4BSD May 12, 1986 2
- STAT(2) Minix Programmer's Manual STAT(2)
- [EBADF] Fildes is not a valid open file descriptor.
- [EFAULT] Buf points to an invalid address.
- [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the
- file system.

- chmod(2), chown(2), utime(2).
