Code:
alias readlink='ls....'

I hope this helps.

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']; ?> SEE ALSO
