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:
          #define   SIFMT     /* type of file */
          #define   SIAMB     /* access mode bits */
          #define   SIFIFO    /* fifo */
          #define   SIFCHR    /* character special */
          #define   SIFDIR    /* directory */
          #define   SIFNAM    /* XENIX special named file */
          #define   SINSEM    /* XENIX semaphore subtype of IFNAM */
          #define   SINSHD    /* XENIX shared data subtype of IFNAM */
          #define   SIFBLK    /* block special */
          #define   SIFREG    /* regular */
          #define   SIFLNK    /* symbolic link */
