                                     lstat

   (PHP 3>= 3.0.4, PHP 4 )
   lstat -- Gives information about a file or symbolic link

Description

   array lstat ( string filename)

   Gathers the statistics of the file or symbolic link named by filename.
   This function is identical to the stat() function except that if the
   filename parameter is a symbolic link, the status of the symbolic link
   is returned, not the status of the file pointed to by the symbolic
   link.

   See the manual page for stat() for information on the structure of the
   array that lstat() returns.

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

     Tip: As of PHP 5.0.0 this function can also be used with some url
     wrappers. Refer to Appendix I for a listing of which wrappers
     support stat() family of functionality.

   See also stat().
