libssh2_sftp_stat_ex - get status about an SFTP file
.SH 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);
int
libssh2_sftp_stat(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES *attrs);
int
libssh2_sftp_lstat(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES *attrs);
int
libssh2_sftp_setstat(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES *attrs);
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIsftp\fP - SFTP instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_sftp_init(3)
\fIpath\fP - Remote filesystem object to stat/lstat/setstat.
\fIpath_len\fP - Lenght of the name of the remote filesystem object
to stat/lstat/setstat.
\fIstat_type\fP - One of the three constants specifying the type of
stat operation to perform.
\fIattrs\fP - Pointer to attribute 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,
.BR libssh2_sftp_stat(3)
will follow all symlinks, while
.BR libssh2_sftp_lstat(3)
will return data about the object encountered, even if that object
happens to be a symlink.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.
.SH ERRORS
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT\fP -
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL\fP - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to
be returned by the server.
