FILESTAT(3)

💅 filestat() — FILESTAT(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to Schily´s LIBRARY FUNCTIONS. This page is for filestat(), and it's lowkey iconic: it copies file descriptor information into a buffer. Let's get into it ✨🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

filestat() — copies file descriptor information to buffer 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <schily/stat.h>

int filestat(f,buf)
FILE *f;
struct stat *buf;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

filestat() places system dependent information about the file f into the buffer buf. That's the whole main character move, periodt 💅

🎀 RETURNS 🎀

Returns a value equal to or greater than zero when successful. Otherwise, returns -1 and sets the standard error code. No cap, that's the deal 😭🔥

🔥 NOTES 🔥

The size and the interpretation of the buffer is system dependent. So bestie, do not assume it's universal — it's literally system dependent 👑💀
