PHP ssh2_sftp_lstat function

ssh2_sftp_lstat

(PECL)

ssh2_sftp_lstat --
Stat a symbolic link
Descriptionarray ssh2_sftp_lstat ( resource sftp, string path )

Stats a symbolic link on the remote filesystem without
following the link. This function is similar to using the
lstat() function with the
ssh2.sftp:// wrapper in PHP5
and returns the same values. See the documentation for
stat() for details on the values which may be returned.

Example 1. Stating a symbolic link via SFTP

$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');

$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');

$filesize = $statinfo['size'];
$group = $statinfo['gid'];
$owner = $statinfo['uid'];
$atime = $statinfo['atime'];
$mtime = $statinfo['mtime'];
$mode = $statinfo['mode'];
