一、读取文件元数据
int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf); int fstat(int fd, struct stat *buf); int lstat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);
stat() stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
lstat() is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link, then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to. fstat() is identical to stat(), except that the file to be stat-ed is specified by the file descriptor fd.
二、stat结构体
struct stat { dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */ ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */ mode_t st_mode; /* protection */ nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */ 硬链接是不可以跨越文件系统的 uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */ gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */ dev_t st_rdev; /* device ID (if special file) */ off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */ blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for file system I/O */ blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */ time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */ read time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */ write time_t st_ctime; /* time of last status change */ chmod/chown };

simba@ubuntu:~/Documents/code/linux_programming/APUE/File_IO$ ./file_stat Makefile Filename:Makefile file in Dev number:major 8, minor 1 File inode:660022 Filetype:regular file File permission bits=664 -rw-rw-r--
因为是普通文件,故从st_dev字段看设备号,而不是st_rdev. 主设备号表示设备驱动程序,而次设备号表示特定的子设备。比如在同一个磁盘上面不同的文件系统,设备驱动程序相当,但是次设备号不同。
st_rdev只有字符特殊文件和块特殊文件才有这个值,表示实际设备的设备编号。
$ ./a.out / /home/sar /dev/tty[01]
/: dev = 3/3
/home/sar: dev = 3/4
/dev/tty0: dev = 0/7 (character) rdev = 4/0
/dev/tty1: dev = 0/7 (character) rdev = 4/1
$ mount which directories are mounted on which devices?
/dev/hda3 on / type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda4 on /home type ext2 (rw,noatime)
$ ls -lL /dev/tty[01] /dev/hda[34]
brw------- 1 root 3, 3 Dec 31 1969 /dev/hda3
brw------- 1 root 3, 4 Dec 31 1969 /dev/hda4
crw------- 1 root 4, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/tty0
crw------- 1 root 4, 1 Jan 18 15:36 /dev/tty1
Note that the filenames and i-nodes for the two terminal devices (st_dev) are on device 0/7 the devfs pseudo file system, which implements the /dev but that their actual device numbers are 4/0 and 4/1.
