pxfstat(3F)

PXFSTAT - Retrieves the file status

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.5.

NAME
     PXFSTAT - Retrieves the file status

SYNOPSIS
     INTEGER jstat, ilen, ierror
     CALL PXFSTAT(path, ilen, jstat, ierror)

IMPLEMENTATION
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems

STANDARDS
     IEEE standard interface for FORTRAN 77

DESCRIPTION
     On IRIX systems, this routine is in libfortran.so which is linked by
     default when compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler
     or when compiling programs with the -craylibs option to the MIPSpro
     F77 compiler.

     The PXFSTAT routine uses the stat system call to get the file status.

     When using the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, or IRIX systems, all arguments must be of default
     kind unless documented otherwise.  On UNICOS and UNICOS/mk, default
     kind is KIND=8 for integer, real, complex, and logical arguments; on
     IRIX, the default kind is KIND=4.

     The following is a list of arguments for this routine:

     path    An input character variable or array element containing the
             name of a file.

     ilen    An input integer variable containing the length of path in
             characters.  If ilen is zero, all trailing blanks are removed
             before calling stat().

     jstat   An input integer variable or array element containing a handle
             for a stat structure.  This handle should have been created by
             a call to the PXFSTRUCTCREATE(3F) routine.

     ierror  An output integer variable that contains the status:

             Zero    PXFSTAT returned the status information.

             Nonzero PXFSTAT was unable to return the status.

     In addition to errors returned by the stat(2) system call, the
     following errors may occur:

     EINVAL       If ilen < 0 or ilen > LEN(path).

     ENOMEM       If PXFSTAT is unable to obtain memory to copy path.

     EBADHANDLE   If jstat is an invalid handle or has an incorrect handle
                  type (UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems only).

     The stat structure contains the following components:

     * st_mode:  File mode.

     * st_ino:  File serial number.

     * st_dev:  ID of device containing the file.

     * st_nlink:  Number of links.

     * st_uid:  User id of the owner of the file.

     * st_gid:  Group id of the owner of the file.

     * st_size:  File size in bytes for regular files.  Unspecified for
       other files.

     * st_atime:  Last time that data within the file was accessed.

     * st_mtime:  Last time that data in the file was modified.

     * st_ctime:  Last time that file status was changed.

EXAMPLES
          program test
          character*10 path
          integer ilen, jstat, ierr,imode, istino
          path = 'stt.f'
          call pxfstructcreate('stat',jstat,ierr)
             print *,'structcreate error = ',ierr
          ilen=0
          call pxfstat(path, ilen, jstat, ierr)
          if (ierr.ne.0) then
             print *,'FAIL: error from pxfstat = ',ierr
          else
             print *,'PASS: No error from pxfstat = '
          endif
          call pxfintget(jstat,'st_ino',istino,ierr)
          call pxfintget(jstat,'mode',imode,ierr)
          print *,'st_ino = ',istino
          print *,'mode = ',imode
          call pxfstructfree(stat,ierr)
          end
