-/* This is file STAT.C */
-/*
- *   Almost a 100% U**X-compatible stat() substitute.
- *
- * Usage:
- *
- *   That's easy: put this into libc.a, then just call stat() as usual.
- *
- * Rationale:
- *
- *   Many Unix-born programs make heavy use of stat() library
- *   function to make decisions on files' equality, size, access
- *   attributes etc.  In the MS-DOS environment, many implementations
- *   of stat() are crippled, because DOS makes it very hard to get to
- *   certain pieces of information about files and directories.  Thus
- *   porting a program to DOS is usually an exercise in #ifdef'ing.
- *   This implementation facilitates porting Unix programs to MS-DOS
- *   by providing stat() which is much more Unix-compatible than those
- *   of most DOS-based C compilers (e.g., Borland's).
- *   Specifically, the following issues are taken care of:
- *
- *      1. This stat() doesn't fail for root directories, returning
- *         valid information.
- *      2. Directory size is not reported zero; the number of used
- *         directory entries multiplied by entry size is returned instead.
- *      3. Mode bits are set for all 3 groups (user, group, other).
- *      4. Directories are NOT reported read-only, unless one of R, H or S
- *         attributes is set.
- *      5. Directories have their execute bit set, as they do under Unix.
- *      6. Device names (such as /dev/con, lpt1, aux etc.) are treated as
- *         if they were on a special drive called `@:' (st_dev = -1).
- *         The "character special" mode bit is set for these devices.
- *      7. The inode number (st_ino) is taken from the starting cluster
- *         number of the file.  If the cluster number is unavailable, it
- *         is invented using the file's name in a manner that minimizes
- *         the possibility of inventing an inode which already belongs
- *         to another file.  See below for details.
- *      8. Executable files are found based on files' extensions and
- *         magic numbers present at their beginning, and their execute
- *         bits are set.
- *
- *   Lossage:
- *
- *      Beautiful as the above sounds, this implementation does fail
- *      under certain circumstances.  The following is a list of known
- *      problems:
- *
- *      1. The time fields for a root directory cannot be obtained, so
- *         they are set to the beginning of the Epoch.
- *      2. For files which reside on networked drives, the inode number
- *         is invented, because network redirectors usually do not
- *         bring that info with them.  This is not a total lossage, but
- *         it could get us a different inode for each program run.
- *      3. Empty files do not have a starting cluster number, because
- *         DOS doesn't allocate one until you actually write something
- *         to a file.  For these the inode is also invented.
- *      4. If the st_ino field is a 16 bit number, the invented inode
- *         numbers are from 65535 and down, assuming that most disks have
- *         unused portions near their end.  Valid cluster numbers are 16-bit
- *         unsigned integers, so a possibility of a clash exists, although
- *         the last 80 or more cluster numbers are unused on all drives
- *         I've seen.  If the st_ino is 32 bit, then invented inodes are
- *         all greater than 64k, which totally eliminates a possibility
- *         of a clash with an actual cluster number.
- *      5. The method of computing directory size is an approximation:
- *         a directory might consume much more space, if it has many
- *         deleted entries.  Still, this is a close approximation, and
- *         it does follow the logic of reporting size for a regular file:
- *         only the actually used space is returned.
- *      6. As this implementation relies heavily on undocumented DOS
- *         features, it will fail to get actual file info in environments
- *         other than native DOS, such as DR-DOS, OS/2 etc.  For these,
- *         the function will return whatever info is available with
- *         conventional DOS calls, which is no less than any other
- *         implementation could do.  This stat() might also fail for
- *         future DOS versions, if the layout of internal DOS data
- *         area is changed; however, this seems unlikely.

+
+@subheading Implementation Notes
+
+Supplying a 100% Unix-compatible @code{f?stat()} functions under DOS is an
+implementation nightmare.  The following notes describe some of the
+obscure points specific to their behavior in DJGPP.
+
+1. The @samp{drive} for character devices (like @code{con}, @code{/dev/null}
+and others is returned as -1.  For drives networked by Novell Netware, it
+is returned as -2.
+
+2. The starting cluster number of a file serves as its inode number.  For
+files whose starting cluster number is inaccessible (empty files, files on
+networked drives, etc.) the @code{st_inode} field will be @cite{invented}
+in a way which guarantees that no two different files will get the same
+inode number (thus it is unique).  This invented inode will also be
+different from any real cluster number of any local file.  However, only
+on plain DOS, and only for local, non-empty files/directories the inode
+is guaranteed to be consistent between @code{stat} and @code{fstat}
+function calls.
+
+3. The WRITE access mode bit is set only for the user (unless the file is
+read-only, hidden or system).  EXECUTE bit is set for directories,  files
+which can be executed from the DOS prompt (batch files, .com, .dll and .exe
+executables) or run by @code{go32-v2}.
+
+4. Size of directories is reported as the number of its files (sans `.' and
+`..' entries) multiplied by 32 bytes (the size of directory entry).  On FAT
+filesystems that support the LFN API (such as Windows 9X), the reported
+size of the directory accounts for additional space used to store the long
+file names.
+
+5. Time stamp for root directories is taken from the volume label entry,
+if that's available; otherwise, it is reported as 1-Jan-1980.
+
+6. The variable @code{_djstat_flags} (@pxref{_djstat_flags}) controls
+what hard-to-get fields of @code{struct stat} are needed by the
+application.
+
+7. @code{stat} should not be used to get an up-to-date info about a file
+which is open and has been written to, because @code{stat} will only
+return correct data after the file is closed.  Use @code{fstat}
+(@pxref{fstat}) while the file is open.  Alternatively, you can call
+@code{fflush} and @code{fsync} to make the OS flush all the file's data
+to the disk, before calling @code{stat}.
+
+8. The number of links @code{st_nlink} is always 1 for files other than
+directories.  For directories, it is the number of subdirectories plus
+2.  This is so that programs written for Unix that depend on this to
+optimize recursive traversal of the directory tree, will still work.

+MSDOS doesn't support symbolic links but DJGPP emulates them.
+This function checks if @var{filename} is a DJGPP symlink and
+the file name that the links points to is copied into buffer,
+up to maximum @var{size} characters. Only the last file name
+is resolved.
+It is @strong{not} terminated @code{'\0'}
+
+@subheading Return Value
+
+Number of copied characters; value -1 is returned in case of
+error and @code{errno} is set. When value returned is equal to 
+@var{size}, you cannot determine if there was enough room to 
+copy whole name. So increase @var{size} and try again.

 @subheading Description
-MSDOS doesn't support symbolic links.  However, DJGPP supports
-``symlinks'' to DJGPP programs.  This function simulates a symlink
-between two @file{.exe} files in the DJGPP style.  It creates a program
-whose name is pointed to by @var{new} which, when run, will actually
-execute the program @var{exists} passing it the string pointed by
-@var{new} in @code{argv[0]} (some programs change their behavior
-depending on what's passed in @code{argv[0]}).  The file referred to by
-@var{exists} doesn't really have to exist when this function is called.
-If @var{exists} points to an @emph{existing} file, the function checks
-that it is a DJGPP executable; if not, the call will fail with
-@code{EXDEV}.
-
-Both @var{new} and @var{exists} can point to a name with or without the
-@file{.exe} extension.
-
-Note that both @var{exists} and @var{new} must specify file names which
-reside in the same
-directory (this is a restriction of the DJGPP ``symlinks''); the
-function will fail and set @code{errno} to @code{EXDEV} if they aren't.
-
-This functions runs the @samp{stubify} and @samp{stubedit} programs, so
-they should be somewhere on your @samp{PATH} for the function to
-succeed.  (These programs come with the DJGPP development distribution.)
+DOS does not support symbolic links. However, DJGPP emulates them -
+this function creates a file with special size and format, so other
+DJGPP library functions transparently work with file which is pointed to
+by symlink. Of course, it does not work outside DJGPP programs. Those
+library functions which are simple wrappers about DOS calls do not
+use symlinks neither.
