SYNOPSIS
array ssh2_sftp_lstat (resource $sftp, string $path)
DESCRIPTION
Stats a symbolic link on the remote filesystem without following the link.

PARAMETERS
o $sftp
-
o $path
- Path to the remote symbolic link.
RETURN VALUES
See the documentation for stat(3) for details on the values which may be returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Stating a symbolic link via SFTP
<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');
$filesize = $statinfo['size'];
$group = $statinfo['gid'];
$owner = $statinfo['uid'];
$atime = $statinfo['atime'];
$mtime = $statinfo['mtime'];
$mode = $statinfo['mode'];
?>
