8.182 LSTAT — Get file status

Synopsis:

CALL LSTAT(NAME, VALUES [, STATUS])

STATUS = LSTAT(NAME, VALUES)

Description:

LSTAT is identical to STAT, except that if path is a symbolic link, then the operation is performed on the link itself, not the file that it refers to.

The elements in VALUES are the same as described by STAT.

This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

Class:

Arguments:

NAME	The type shall be CHARACTER of the default kind, a valid path within the file system.
VALUES	The type shall be INTEGER(4), DIMENSION(13).
