The path_filestat_get() function allows accessing metadata Filestat for a file or directory specified by a path relative to the given directory. It retrieves information such as the size, timestamps, and file type.

On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the stat() or lstat() functions, depending on whether symbolic links should be followed or not. These functions retrieve information about a file or symbolic link and store it in a struct stat object.

Note

The path_filestat_get() function allows accessing metadata (file statistics) for a file or directory specified by a path relative to the given directory. It checks if the specified directory has the necessary rights and retrieves the file statistics accordingly. On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the stat() or lstat() functions.
