stat

  • We use the stat function in PHP to get an associative array with information about a file:

    PHP

    $stat = stat('/path/to/foobar');
print $stat['ino'];
 
//=> 16793883

    Ruby’s File.stat method will return a File::Stat instance with the same information.

    Ruby

    stat = File.stat('/path/to/foobar')
p stat.ino
 
#=> 16793883
