ssh2_sftp_lstat --  Stat a symbolic link

Description

array 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

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

$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$statinfo = ssh2_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');

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