New stat structure.

Browse Source 
* VFS and installed MFSes must be in sync before and after this change *

Use struct stat from NetBSD. It requires adding new STAT, FSTAT and LSTAT
syscalls. Libc modification is both backward and forward compatible.

Also new struct stat uses modern field sizes to avoid ABI
incompatibility, when we update uid_t, gid_t and company.
Exceptions are ino_t and off_t in old libc (though paddings added).

.TH STAT 2 "May 12, 1986"
.UC 4
.SH NAME
stat, lstat, fstat \- get file status
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.ft B
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
.ta +54n
int stat(const char *\fIpath\fP, struct stat *\fIbuf\fP)
int lstat(const char *\fIpath\fP, struct stat *\fIbuf\fP)
int fstat(int \fIfd\fP, struct stat *\fIbuf\fP)
.fi
.ft R
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Stat
obtains information about the file
.IR path .
Read, write or execute
permission of the named file is not required, but all directories
listed in the path name leading to the file must be reachable.
.PP
.B Lstat
is like \fBstat\fP except in the case where the named file is a symbolic link,
in which case
.B lstat
returns information about the link,
while
.B stat
returns information about the file the link references.
.PP
.B Fstat
obtains the same information about an open file
referenced by the argument descriptor, such as would
be obtained by an \fBopen\fP call. Pipe descriptors
look like named pipes with a link count of zero. The
st_size field of pipes or named pipes shows the amount of
bytes currently buffered in the pipe.
.PP
.I Buf
is a pointer to a
.B stat
structure into which information is placed concerning the file.
The contents of the structure pointed to by
.I buf
is as follows:
.PP
.if t .RS
.nf
.ta +0.4i +0.8i +1i
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* device inode resides on */
ino_t st_ino; /* this inode's number */
mode_t st_mode; /* file mode, protection bits, etc. */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number or hard links to the file */
uid_t st_uid; /* user-id of the file's owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group-id of the file's owner */
dev_t st_rdev; /* the device type, for inode that is device */
off_t st_size; /* total size of file */
time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
time_t st_mtime; /* time of last data modification */
time_t st_ctime; /* time of last file status change */
};
.fi
.if t .RE
.DT
.PP
.TP 12
st_atime
Time when file data was last read or modified. Changed by the following system
calls:
.BR mknod (2),
.BR utime (2),
.BR read (2),
and
.BR write (2).
For reasons of efficiency,
st_atime is not set when a directory
is searched, although this would be more logical.
.TP 12
st_mtime
Time when data was last modified.
It is not set by changes of owner, group, link count, or mode.
Changed by the following system calls:
.BR mknod (2),
.BR utime (2),
.BR write (2).
.TP 12
st_ctime
Time when file status was last changed.
It is set both both by writing and changing the i-node.
Changed by the following system calls:
.BR chmod (2)
.BR chown (2),
.BR link (2),
.BR mknod (2),
.BR rename (2),
.BR unlink (2),
.BR utime (2),
.BR write (2).
.PP
The file type information in \fBst_mode\fP has bits:
.PP
.nf
.in +5n
.ta 1.6i 2.5i 3i
#define S_IFMT 0170000 /* type of file */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFIFO 0010000 /* named pipe */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFCHR 0020000 /* character special */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFDIR 0040000 /* directory */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFBLK 0060000 /* block special */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFREG 0100000 /* regular */
#define\ \ \ \ S_IFLNK 0120000 /* symbolic link */
.fi
.in -5n
.PP
The mode bits 0007777 encode set-uid/gid bits and
permission bits (see
.BR chmod (2)).
.SH "RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned.
Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
.B errno
is set to indicate the error.
.SH "ERRORS
