-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Describes information about a file.
-.P
-The fields are as follows:
-.TP
-.I st_dev
-This field describes the device on which this file resides.
-(The
-.BR major (3)
-and
-.BR minor (3)
-macros may be useful to decompose the device ID in this field.)
-.TP
-.I st_ino
-This field contains the file's inode number.
-.TP
-.I st_mode
-This field contains the file type and mode.
-See
-.BR inode (7)
-for further information.
-.TP
-.I st_nlink
-This field contains the number of hard links to the file.
-.TP
-.I st_uid
-This field contains the user ID of the owner of the file.
-.TP
-.I st_gid
-This field contains the ID of the group owner of the file.
-.TP
-.I st_rdev
-This field describes the device that this file (inode) represents.
-.TP
-.I st_size
-This field gives the size of the file (if it is a regular
-file or a symbolic link) in bytes.
-The size of a symbolic link is the length of the pathname
-it contains, without a terminating null byte.
-.TP
-.I st_blksize
-This field gives the "preferred" block size for efficient filesystem I/O.
-.TP
-.I st_blocks
-This field indicates the number of blocks allocated to the file,
-in 512-byte units.
-(This may be smaller than
-.IR st_size /512
-when the file has holes.)
-.TP
-.I st_atime
-This is the time of the last access of file data.
-.TP
-.I st_mtime
-This is the time of last modification of file data.
-.TP
-.I st_ctime
-This is the file's last status change timestamp
-(time of last change to the inode).
-.P
-For further information on the above fields, see
-.BR inode (7).
-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2008.
-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001.
-.P
-Old kernels and old standards did not support nanosecond timestamp fields.
-Instead, there were three timestamp
-.RI fields\[em] st_atime ,
-.IR st_mtime ,
-and
-.IR st_ctime \[em]typed
-as
-.I time_t
-that recorded timestamps with one-second precision.
-.P
-Since Linux 2.5.48, the
-.I stat
-structure supports nanosecond resolution for the three file timestamp fields.
-The nanosecond components of each timestamp are available
-via names of the form
-.IR st_atim.tv_nsec ,
-if suitable test macros are defined.
-Nanosecond timestamps were standardized in POSIX.1-2008,
-and, starting with glibc 2.12,
-glibc exposes the nanosecond component names if
-.B _POSIX_C_SOURCE
-is defined with the value 200809L or greater, or
-.B _XOPEN_SOURCE
-is defined with the value 700 or greater.
-Up to and including glibc 2.19,
-the definitions of the nanoseconds components are also defined if
-.B _BSD_SOURCE
-or
-.B _SVID_SOURCE
-is defined.
-If none of the aforementioned macros are defined,
-then the nanosecond values are exposed with names of the form
-.IR st_atimensec .
-.SH NOTES
-The following header also provides this type:
-.IR <ftw.h> .
