Class
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.
