Digital UNIX Diffs - stat(5)			  Digital UNIX Diffs - stat(5)

NAME
       stat, fstat -  Provides information about a file

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

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

       int fstat(
	       int filedes,
	       struct stat *buffer );

PARAMETERS
       Specifies  the  pathname	 identifying  the  file.   Specifies  the file
       descriptor identifying the open file.  Points to the stat structure  in
       which  information  is returned. The stat structure is described in the
       sys/stat.h header file.

DIFFERENCES
       vms-files(5): OpenVMS File System Differences

       The syntax of filename path are different on UNIX and OpenVMS.

       Information kept on a file varies between OpenVMS and UNIX.  By looking
       at  the	struct	stat you can see the differences.  The OpenVMS variant
       includes RMS data structures which have no meaning on UNIX.   The  UNIX
       version has inode and link information that is meanless on OpenVMS.

       Note that lstat(2) is not available on OpenVMS since the operating sys‐
       tem does not support file links.

RELATED INFORMATION
       Functions:  fstat(2), stat(2), lstat(2)
