4.4.22: fstat - Gets file status

CALLING SEQUENCE:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int fstat(
  int          fildes,
  struct stat *buf
);

STATUS CODES:

EBADF
Invalid file descriptor

DESCRIPTION:

The fstat() function obtains information about the file associated with fildes and writes it to the area pointed to by the buf argument.

NOTES:

If the filesystem object referred to by fildes is a link, then the information returned in buf refers to the destination of that link. This is in contrast to lstat() which does not follow the link.
