The return value contains several members that provide information about the file.
The member names are:

ST_DEV
|
The ID of the device containing the file
|
|
ST_INO
|
The inode number of the file
|
|
ST_MODE
|
The files attributes and permissions
|
|
ST_NLINK
|
The number of hard links to this file
|
|
ST_UID
|
The owners user ID
|
|
ST_GID
|
The owners group ID
|
|
ST_RDEV
|
The device ID (special files)
|
|
ST_SIZE
|
The total file size in bytes
|
|
ST_ATIME
|
Last access time (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970)
|
|
ST_MTIME
|
Last modified time (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970)
|

Example:
|
sub main()
stat=osstat("testfile.txt")
if stat then
printl("ST_DEV:", stat.st_dev)
printl("ST_INO:", stat.st_ino)
printl("ST_MODE:", hex(stat.st_mode))
printl("ST_NLINK:", stat.st_nlink)
printl("ST_UID:", hex(stat.st_uid))
printl("ST_GID:", hex(stat.st_gid))
printl("ST_RDEV:", stat.st_rdev)
printl("ST_SIZE:", stat.st_size)
printl("ST_ATIME:", stat.st_atime)
printl("ST_MTIME:", stat.st_mtime)
printl("ST_CTIME:", stat.st_ctime)
else
printl("OSSTAT Failed")
