stat(4)        UNIX System V(Application Compatibility Package)         stat(4)


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:
            struct   stat
            {
                     devt     stdev;
                     inot     stino;
                     modet    stmode;
                     nlinkt   stnlink;
                     uidt     stuid;
                     gidt     stgid;
                     devt     strdev;
                     offt     stsize;
                     timet    statime;
                     timet    stmtime;
                     timet    stctime;
            };
