Description
Definitions used for file status and directory functions.  

_stati64, _tstati64, stati64, _wstati64 

Header File
sys\stat.h, tchar.h
Category
Directory Control Routines
Prototype
int stati64(const char *pathname, struct stati64 *buff);
int _stati64(const char *__path, struct stati64 *__statbuf);
int _wstati64(const wchar_t *pathname, struct stati64 *buff);
// From tchar.h
#define _tstati64 _stati64
Description
Gather statistics about the file named by *pathP and place them in the buffer *bufP.
The statistics fields are set thus:
st_devset to -1 if S_IFCHR, else set to drive holding the file.
st_ino0
st_modeUnix-style bit-set for file access rights
st_nlink1
st_uid0
st_gid0
st_rdevsame as st_dev
st_sizefile size (0 if S_IFDIR or S_IFCHR)
st_atimetime file last changed (seconds since 1970)
st_mtimesame as st_atime... more

int fstat(int handle, struct stat *statbuf);
int stat(const char *path, struct stat *statbuf);
int _wstat(const wchar_t *path, struct stat *statbuf);
Description
Gets open file information.
fstat stores information in the stat structure about the file or directory associated with handle.
stat stores information about a given file or directory in the stat structure. The name of the file is path.
statbuf points to the stat structure (defined in sys\stat.h). That structure contains the following fields:
