I'm not planning to include struct stat.  If that much info was needed for the 
original implementation back in 2012 it would have been added then.  I just 
observe that 'stat' and fstat() can show something useful with the feature.  I 
don't recall what other package or program had the requirement for the feature.
Cheers,
