LSTAT(3) 1 LSTAT(3)lstat - Gives information about a file or symbolic linkSYNOPSIS
array lstat (string $filename)
DESCRIPTION
Gathers the statistics of the file or symbolic link named by $filename.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to a file or a symbolic link.
RETURN VALUES
See the manual page for stat(3) for information on the structure of the array that lstat(3) returns. This function is identical to the
stat(3) function except that if the $filename parameter is a symbolic link, the status of the symbolic link is returned, not the status of
the file pointed to by the symbolic link.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Comparison of stat(3) and lstat(3)
<?php
symlink('uploads.php', 'uploads');
// Contrast information for uploads.php and uploads
array_diff(stat('uploads'), lstat('uploads'));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Information that differs between the two files.
Array
(
[ino] => 97236376
[mode] => 33188
[size] => 34
[atime] => 1223580003
[mtime] => 1223581848
[ctime] => 1223581848
[blocks] => 8
)
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.

Note
The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache(3) for more details.
Tip
As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to "Supported Protocols and Wrappers" to determine
which wrappers support stat(3) family of functionality.

$statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');

Hello,
I have a little problem with lstat.
I use the find utility, to find a path for a file in my system.
After that,I take that path and I pass it in lstat, but lstat returns -1, and this error : no such file or directory.
So I m trying to "ls" the path in the shell, but it also fails.

Hello guys,
I have a simple problem. Do you know any way to get the get the filename linked to symbolic link? I think use "ls -l <myfile> | cut -d '>' -f2", but i know it is a bad practice take information from the output of "ls -l". I dont have "stat" comand neither. :(
Regards!
