   NAME
         stat - data returned by stat system call

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

   DESCRIPTION
         The system calls stat, lstat and fstat return data in a stat
         structure, which is defined in stat.h.

         The constants used in the stmode field are also defined in this
         file:
