int stat(const char *filename, struct stat *buf)

Method Description

This function is used to get information about a file/directory/URL

filename is a full URL.

buf points to a stat structure allocated by the user, which will contain information about the URL.

All the standard macros (ISDIR, ...) work fine on the resulting buffer. This method performs some conversions between DOS attributes and Unix permissions.

This function returns 0 on success and -1 on error with error() returning the corresponding error code.
