Retrieves selected information about file or directory, in the requested name space.
#include <fsio.h> int getstat_with_namespace ( NXPathCtx_t ctx, const char *path, struct stat *buf, unsigned long requestmap, int _namespace );
(IN) Specifies the file system path context. Along with the path parameter, it specifies the entry for which status is to be obtained.
(IN) Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the entry (relative to ctx) for which status is to be obtained.
(OUT) Points to the structure containing information about the file.
(IN) Specifies a bit mask of the information to return. See Request Flags for Entry Status.
(IN) Specifies the name space for the returned information. For a list of possible values, see Section 20.2.7, Name Space Flags.
If successful, returns 0. Otherwise, returns -1 or one of the following errors. Unlike stat, errno is not set.
The getstat_with_namespace function returns information in the stat structure located at the address indicated by the buf parameter. The requestmap parameter determines which fields in the stat structure return with information. The _namespace parameter determines the format of the name in the st_name field if the ST_NS_BIT is set in the requestmap parameter. The fields not requested have undefined values.
The sys/stat.h header file contains definitions for the stat structure and the fields are described in stat.
