A file status a.k.a. metadata.

The differences from FileStatus are:

• Is a record type with a Storable instance.

• Has an extra field blockCount.

  • An equivalent accessor fileBlocks was added in unix-2.8.0.0, but it is a Maybe.

• Provides an exact representation (TimeSpec) of the time fields without converting to POSIXTime.

  • This assumes that the struct stat has st_atim, st_mtim and st_ctim fields. On Linux this requires Linux >= 2.6.

Ptr FileStat can be cast to Ptr CStat and vice versa.

Use defaultFileStat and modify its fields you are interested in.

The st_ino field is ignored unless the use_ino mount option is given.

The st_dev and st_blksize fields are ignored by libfuse, so not provided.

The default value of FileStat.

The Haskell Equivalent of zero-setting C code { struct stat st; memset(&st, 0, sizeof(struct stat)); }.
