       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  and includes the
             following members:
                dev_t               st_dev;
                ino_t               st_ino;
                mode_t              st_mode;
                nlink_t             st_nlink;
                uid_t               st_uid;
                gid_t               st_gid;
                dev_t               st_rdev;
                off_t               st_size;
                time_t              st_atime;
                time_t              st_mtime;
                time_t              st_ctime;
                long                st_blksize;
                long                st_blocks;
                char                st_fstype[_ST_FSTYPSZ];
                int                 st_aclcnt;
                level_t st_level;
                ulong_t st_flags;   /* general purpose flag */

                int st_aclcnt;
                level_t st_level;
