   returned by the lstat system call. This function is used to verify if
   a link (pointed to by path) really exists (using the same method as
   the S_ISLNK macro defined in stat.h). Returns 0 or FALSE in case of
   error.

   Example 1. linkinfo() example
   <?php
   echo linkinfo('/vmlinuz'); // 835
   ?>
