Version 2 of file lstat

Updated 2011-07-03 10:50:08 by dkf
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.
