fstat

  • The PHP function fstat works the same as stat, only it takes an open stream resource as its input instead of a filename.

    PHP

    $f = fopen('/path/to/foobar', 'r');
$stat = fstat($f);
fclose($f)
 
print $stat['ino'];
//=> 16793883

    For an open file in Ruby, you can call the File#stat instance method.

    Ruby

    f = File.open('/path/to/foobar', 'r')
stat = f.stat
f.close
 
p stat.ino
#=> 16793883
