Objects of class File::Stat
encapsulate common status
information for File
objects. The information is recorded at
the moment the File::Stat
object is created; changes made to
the file after that point will not be reflected. File::Stat
objects are returned by IO#stat
, File::stat
,
File#lstat
, and File::lstat
. Many of these
methods return platform-specific values, and not all values are meaningful
on all systems. See also Kernel#test
.
