libssh2_sftp_stat_ex(3) 	     libssh2		 libssh2_sftp_stat_ex(3)

NAME
     libssh2_sftp_stat_ex - get status about an SFTP file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libssh2.h>
     #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

     int
     libssh2_sftp_stat_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path,
			  unsigned int path_len, int stat_type,
			  LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES *attrs);

DESCRIPTION
     sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

     path - Remote filesystem object to stat/lstat/setstat.

     path_len  -  Length  of  the  name  of  the  remote  filesystem  object  to
     stat/lstat/setstat.

     stat_type - One of the three constants specifying the type of  stat  opera-
     tion to perform:

     LIBSSH2_SFTP_STAT: performs stat(2) operation
     LIBSSH2_SFTP_LSTAT: performs lstat(2) operation
     LIBSSH2_SFTP_SETSTAT: performs operation to set stat info on file

     attrs - Pointer to a LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES structure to set file metadata
     from or into depending on the value of stat_type.

     Get  or  Set  statbuf type data on a remote filesystem object. When getting
     statbuf data, libssh2_sftp_stat(3) will follow  all  symlinks,  while  lib-
     ssh2_sftp_lstat(3)  will  return data about the object encountered, even if
     that object happens to be a symlink.

     The LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES struct looks like this:

     struct LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES {
	 /* If flags & ATTR_* bit is set, then the value in this struct will be
	  * meaningful Otherwise it should be ignored
	  */
	 unsigned long flags;

	 libssh2_uint64_t filesize;
	 unsigned long uid;
	 unsigned long gid;
	 unsigned long permissions;
	 unsigned long atime;
	 unsigned long mtime;
     };

RETURN VALUE
     Returns 0 on success or negative on failure. It  returns  LIBSSH2_ERROR_EA-
     GAIN  when  it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a nega-
     tive number, it is not really a failure per se.

ERRORS
     LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP  protocol  response	was  re-
     ceived  on  the  socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be re-
     turned by the server.
