• st_dev: device.
• st_nlink: number of hard links.
• st_uid: user id of owner.
• st_gid: group id of owner.
• st_size: size of file, in bytes.
• st_atime: time of most recent access.
• st_mtime: time of most recent content modification.
• st_ctime: time of most recent metadata change.
Example
The following example shows the usage of stat() method.
# !/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
# showing stat information of file "a2.py"
statinfo = os.stat('a2.py')
print statinfo
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33188, st_ino=3940649674337682L, st_dev=277923425L, st
_nlink=1, st_uid=400, st_gid=401, st_size=335L, st_atime=1330498089, st_mtime=13
30498089, st_ctime=1330498089)
os.stat_float_times([newvalue])
Description
The method stat_float_times() determines whether stat_result represents time stamps as float objects.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for stat_float_times() method:
os.stat_float_times([newvalue])
Parameters
• newvalue -- If newvalue is True, future calls to stat() return floats, if it is False, future calls return ints. If
newvalue is not mentioned, it returns the current settings.
Return Value
This method returns true or false.
Example
The following example shows the usage of stat_float_times() method.
# !/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
