lstat

Example

 array lstat ( string $filename ) 

Description

Gathers the statistics of the file or symbolic link named by filename.

Return Values

See the manual page for stat() for information on the structure of the array that lstat() returns. This function is identical to the stat() 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.
