Status(file)

Parameters

file

-

filename or the file descriptor of an open file

Description

• 

The Status command returns information about file in the form of a list.  The list is of length six.

  

- The first four elements are boolean valued.

  

- The first three indicate if the user has read, write, and execute permission for file.

  

- The fourth element indicates if file is a directory.

  

- The fifth element is the modification time of file in seconds since the epoch.

  

- The final element is the file size in bytes.

• 

Each piece of information can also be found using one of the following functions: IsReadable, IsWritable, IsExecutable, IsDirectory, ModificationTime, or File.  Calling file Status once is usually more efficient than calling more than one of these functions.

• 

If the file does not exist or an invalid file descriptor is passed, an exception is raised.
