STAT(3F)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.

STAT(2) System Calls Manual STAT(2)NAME
stat, fstat - get file status
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
stat(name, buf)
char *name;
struct stat *buf;
fstat(fildes, buf)
struct stat *buf;
DESCRIPTION
Stat obtains detailed information about a named file. Fstat obtains the same information about an open file known by the file descriptor
from a successful open, creat, dup or pipe(2) call.
Name points to a null-terminated string naming a file; buf is the address of a buffer into which information is placed concerning the file.
It is unnecessary to have any permissions at all with respect to the file, but all directories leading to the file must be searchable. The
layout of the structure pointed to by buf as defined in <stat.h> is given below. St_mode is encoded according to the `#define' statements.
The mode bits 0000070 and 0000007 encode group and others permissions (see chmod(2)). The defined types, ino_t, off_t, time_t, name vari-
ous width integer values; dev_t encodes major and minor device numbers; their exact definitions are in the include file <sys/types.h> (see
types(5).
When fildes is associated with a pipe, fstat reports an ordinary file with restricted permissions. The size is the number of bytes queued
in the pipe.
st_atime is the file was last read. For reasons of efficiency, it is not set when a directory is searched, although this would be more
logical. st_mtime is the time the file was last written or created. It is not set by changes of owner, group, link count, or mode.
st_ctime is set both both by writing and changing the i-node.
SEE ALSO ls(1), filsys(5)DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if a status is available; -1 if the file cannot be found.

From reading various articles on the net, I know stat() is used on files to get things like permissions, sizes etc... As a folder is a special type of file in Unix, I assumed that stat() could work on it as well as any general file.
However, from running my program, perror() reported that the... (3 Replies)

To list file permission/access right in octal format, linux has a command 'stat'. For example, we can use the followin -
stat -c %a `find . -type f
Is there any equivalent command in AIX and HP-UX to give the same result as linux 'stat' command?
Please advice. (3 Replies)
