NOTES

       Note

	      This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

       Note

	      When  safe  mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script
	      that is being executed.

       Note

	      This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
