  • [3] or [nlink] - Number of links
  • [4] or [uid] - User ID of owner
  • [5] or [gid] - Group ID of owner
  • [6] or [rdev] - Inode device type
  • [7] or [size] - Size in bytes
  • [8] or [atime] - Last access (as Unix timestamp)
  • [9] or [mtime] - Last modified (as Unix timestamp)
  • [10] or [ctime] - Last inode change (as Unix timestamp)
  • [11] or [blksize] - Blocksize of filesystem IO (if supported)
  • [12] or [blocks] - Number of blocks allocated

Syntax

Tips and Notes

Note: The results from this function will differ from server to server. The array may contain the number index, the name index, or both.
