# fstat

warning

This function was added in omp v1.1.0.2612 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Return the size and the timestamp of a file.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| const filename\[\] | The name of the file. |
| &size | If the function is successful, this param-eter holds the size of the file on return. |
| &timestamp | If the function is successful, this parameter holds the time of the last modification of the file on return. |
| &attrib | If the function is successful, this parameter holds the file attributes. |
| &inode | If the function is successful, this parameter holds inode number of the file. An inode number is a number that uniquely identifies a file, and it usually indicates the physical position of (the start of) the file on the disk or memory card. |

## Returns

**true** - The function was executed successfully.

**false** - The function failed to execute. (File doesn't exist)

## Examples

```c
new
    size,
    timestamp,
    attrib,
    inode;

if (fstat("file.txt", size, timestamp, attrib, inode))
{
    // Success

    printf("size = %d, timestamp = %d, attrib = %d, inode = %d", size, timestamp, attrib, inode);
}
else
{
    // Error
    print("The file \"file.txt\" does not exists, or can't be opened.");
}
```
