'''file lstat''' ''name varName''

Same as '''stat''' option (see '''[file stat]''') except uses the ''lstat'' kernel call instead of ''stat''. This means that if ''name'' refers to a symbolic link the information returned in ''varName'' is for the link rather than the file it refers to. On systems that don't support symbolic links this option behaves exactly the same as the '''stat''' option.
