@node fstatat
@section @code{fstatat}
@findex fstatat
POSIX specification:@* @url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fstatat.html}
Gnulib module: fstatat
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14.
But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstatat} may
not correctly report the size of files or block devices larger than 2
GB@. (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
@item
On some platforms, @code{fstatat(fd,"file/",buf,flag)} succeeds instead of
failing with @code{ENOTDIR}.
Solaris 9.
@item
For symlinks, when the argument ends in a slash, some platforms don't
dereference the argument:
Solaris 9.
@item
On Solaris 11.4, when this function yields a timestamp with a
nonpositive @code{tv_sec} value, @code{tv_nsec} might be in the range
@minus{}1000000000..@minus{}1, representing a negative nanoseconds
offset from @code{tv_sec}.
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function does not fail when the second argument is an empty string
on some platforms, even when @code{AT_EMPTY_PATH} is not used:
glibc 2.7, Linux 2.6.38.
@item
@xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}.
@end itemize
