@node fstat @section @code{fstat} @findex fstat POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fstat.html} Gnulib module: fstat Portability problems fixed by Gnulib: @itemize @item This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms: MSVC 14. @item On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstat} may not correctly report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB. (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.) @item On Solaris 11.3, when this function yields a timestamp with a nonpositive @code{tv_sec} value, @code{tv_nsec} might be in the range @minus{}1000000000..@minus{}1, representing a negative nanoseconds offset from @code{tv_sec}. @item The @code{st_atime}, @code{st_ctime}, @code{st_mtime} fields are affected by the current time zone and by the DST flag of the current time zone on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 14 (when the environment variable @code{TZ} is set). @end itemize Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: @itemize @item @xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}. @item On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output are not redirected and refer to the same terminal. @end itemize
