STAT(3F)                             BSD                              STAT(3F)



NAME
     stat, lstat, fstat - get file status

SYNOPSIS
     integer function stat (name, statb)
     character*(*) name
     integer statb(12)

     integer function lstat (name, statb)
     character*(*) name
     integer statb(12)

     integer function fstat (lunit, statb)
     integer statb(12)

DESCRIPTION
     These routines return detailed information about a file.  stat and lstat
     return information about file name; fstat returns information about the
     file associated with FORTRAN logical unit lunit. The order and meaning of
     the information returned in array statb is as described for the structure
     stat under stat(2).  The "spare" values are not included.

     The value of either function will be zero if successful; an error code
     otherwise.
