✨ PHYSFS_Stat(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual 💖 and it's all about PHYSFS_Stat — the little glow-up struct that holds meta data for a file or directory. yes, the whole page. buckle up. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

PHYSFS_Stat — Meta data for a file or directory. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <physfs.h>

💅 Data Fields

  • PHYSFS_sint64 filesize
  • PHYSFS_sint64 modtime
  • PHYSFS_sint64 createtime
  • PHYSFS_sint64 accesstime
  • PHYSFS_FileType filetype
  • int readonly

👑 Detailed Description 👑

Meta data for a file or directory. periodt. 💅

so like, it's a container for various meta data about a file in the virtual file system. and the way that PHYSFS_stat() uses this structure for returning the information?? iconic. genuinely. 🫶

the time data will be either the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (midnight, Jan 1, 1970), or -1 if the information isn't available or applicable. no cap. if it's -1 it's just… not giving. 😭

the (filesize) field is measured in bytes obviously. ✨

and the (readonly) field tells you whether the archive thinks a file is not writable, but it tends to be only an estimate. like, for example, your write dir might overlap with a .zip file, meaning you can successfully open that path for writing, as it gets created elsewhere. so it's giving "trust me bro" energy a lil bit. 🙈

🎀 Field Documentation 🎀

🌟 PHYSFS_sint64 PHYSFS_Stat::accesstime

like modtime, but for file access time. same energy, different timestamp bestie. 💜

🌟 PHYSFS_sint64 PHYSFS_Stat::createtime

like modtime, but for file creation time. the origin story moment fr fr. 🌸

🌟 PHYSFS_sint64 PHYSFS_Stat::filesize

size in bytes, -1 for non-files and unknown. if you get a -1 she's not telling you her size, respect it. 💀

🌟 PHYSFS_FileType PHYSFS_Stat::filetype

File? Directory? Symlink? the vibe check of the whole struct honestly. 🔥

🌟 PHYSFS_sint64 PHYSFS_Stat::modtime

last modification time. when she last changed her look. ✨

🌟 int PHYSFS_Stat::readonly

non-zero if read only, zero if writable. simple as that. 👑
