Description
The stat() function is similar to the fstat() function—It obtains status information about a file.
Instead of using an open file descriptor, like fstat(), stat() takes the name of a file as an input
argument.
Calls to stat() are thread-safe only if the implementation of stat() provided by the driver that is
manipulated is thread-safe.
Internally, the stat() function is implemented as a call to fstat().
