# lstat

    int lstat(const char* path, struct stat* buf);

Gets information about the file at path path and places it into buf. If the file referenced is a symbolic link, this function will obtain the information about the link itself. The contents of the struct stat structure vary by platform, but share many common fields:

- st_uid: User that owns the file

- st_gid: Group that owns the file

- st_mode: File access rights

- st_size: Size of file in bytes

The standard C runtime macros for checking st_mode, such as S_ISDIR, exist for all supported POSIX platforms.

Returns zero on success, or the negation of the error code on error.
