NAME

       oldfstat, oldlstat, oldstat, oldolduname, olduname - obsolete system calls

SYNOPSIS

       Obsolete system calls.

DESCRIPTION

       The  Linux  2.0 kernel implements these calls to support old executables.  These calls return structures which have grown since their first
       implementation, but old executables must continue to receive old smaller structures.

       Current executables should be linked with current libraries and never use these calls.

CONFORMING TO

       These calls are unique to Linux and should not be used at all in new programs.
