49. lstat_file

Synopsis

Get information about a symbolic link

Usage

Struct_Type lstat_file (String_Type file)

Description

The lstat_file function behaves identically to stat_file but if file is a symbolic link, lstat_file returns information about the link itself, and not the file that it references.

See the documentation for stat_file for more information.

Notes

On systems that do not support symbolic links, there is no difference between this function and the stat_file function.
