# fstat

(PHP 4 )

fstat -- Gets information about a file using an open file pointer

## Description

array fstat ( resource handle)

Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file pointer `handle`. This function is similar to the stat() function except that it operates on an open file pointer instead of a filename.

Returns an array with the statistics of the file with the following elements:

1. device

2. inode

3. number of links

4. user id of owner

5. group id owner

6. device type if inode device *

7. size in bytes

8. time of last access

9. time of last modification

10. time of last change

11. blocksize for filesystem I/O *

12. number of blocks allocated

* - only valid on systems supporting the st_blksize type--other systems (i.e. Windows) return -1

The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.
