The
x::fileattr
object provides access to file attributes, specifically:
An explicitly constructed
x::fileattr object provides attributes of an
existing file or a directory.
This is a reference to a reference counted subclass of
x::basic_attr, which defines the interface
described in this section.
Additionally,
x::fd
objects are also subclassed from
x::basic_attr, and implement the same methods
for an open file descriptor:
#include <x::attr.H> x::fd fd; // ... x::fileattr filenameAttr(x::fileattr::create("filename", true)); filenameAttr->stat(); // The stat() system call on an existing file // ... fd->stat(); // The fstat() system call on an open file descriptor
