238
239=head1 DESCRIPTION
240
241This module's default exports override the core stat()
242and lstat() functions, replacing them with versions that return
243"File::stat" objects. This object has methods that
244return the similarly named structure field name from the
245stat(2) function; namely,
246dev,
247ino,
248mode,
249nlink,
250uid,
251gid,
252rdev,
253size,
254atime,
255mtime,
256ctime,
257blksize,
258and
259blocks.
260
6cf0ee86 261As of version 1.02 (provided with perl 5.12) the object provides C<"-X">
262overloading, so you can call filetest operators (C<-f>, C<-x>, and so
263on) on it. It also provides a C<< ->cando >> method, called like
264
265 $st->cando( ACCESS, EFFECTIVE )
266
267where I<ACCESS> is one of C<S_IRUSR>, C<S_IWUSR> or C<S_IXUSR> from the
268L<Fcntl|Fcntl> module, and I<EFFECTIVE> indicates whether to use
269effective (true) or real (false) ids. The method interprets the C<mode>,
270C<uid> and C<gid> fields, and returns whether or not the current process
271would be allowed the specified access.
272
273If you don't want to use the objects, you may import the C<< ->cando >>
274method into your namespace as a regular function called C<stat_cando>.
275This takes an arrayref containing the return values of C<stat> or
276C<lstat> as its first argument, and interprets it for you.
277
36477c24 278You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
279as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
280overrides your stat() and lstat() functions.) Access these fields as
281variables named with a preceding C<st_> in front their method names.
282Thus, C<$stat_obj-E<gt>dev()> corresponds to $st_dev if you import
283the fields.
284
285To access this functionality without the core overrides,
286pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
287function functions with their full qualified names.
288On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
289via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
290
5c4d9947 291=head1 BUGS
292
293As of Perl 5.8.0 after using this module you cannot use the implicit
294C<$_> or the special filehandle C<_> with stat() or lstat(), trying
295to do so leads into strange errors. The workaround is for C<$_> to
296be explicit
297
298 my $stat_obj = stat $_;
299
300and for C<_> to explicitly populate the object using the unexported
301and undocumented populate() function with CORE::stat():
302
303 my $stat_obj = File::stat::populate(CORE::stat(_));
304
6cf0ee86 305=head1 ERRORS
306
307=over 4
308
309=item -%s is not implemented on a File::stat object
310
311The filetest operators C<-t>, C<-T> and C<-B> are not implemented, as
312they require more information than just a stat buffer.
313
314=back
315
316=head1 WARNINGS
317
318These can all be disabled with
319
320 no warnings "File::stat";
321
322=over 4
323
324=item File::stat ignores use filetest 'access'
325
326You have tried to use one of the C<-rwxRWX> filetests with C<use
327filetest 'access'> in effect. C<File::stat> will ignore the pragma, and
328just use the information in the C<mode> member as usual.
329
330=item File::stat ignores VMS ACLs
331
332VMS systems have a permissions structure that cannot be completely
333represented in a stat buffer, and unlike on other systems the builtin
334filetest operators respect this. The C<File::stat> overloads, however,
335do not, since the information required is not available.
336
337=back
338
36477c24 339=head1 NOTE
340
8cc95fdb 341While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
36477c24 342module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
