function

fs.promises.lstat

function lstat(
path: PathLike,
opts?: StatOptions & { bigint: false }
): Promise<Stats>;

Equivalent to fsPromises.stat() unless path refers to a symbolic link, in which case the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to. Refer to the POSIX lstat(2) document for more detail.

@returns

Fulfills with the {fs.Stats} object for the given symbolic link path.

function lstat(
path: PathLike,
opts: StatOptions & { bigint: true }
): Promise<BigIntStats>;

Equivalent to fsPromises.stat() unless path refers to a symbolic link, in which case the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to. Refer to the POSIX lstat(2) document for more detail.

@returns

Fulfills with the {fs.Stats} object for the given symbolic link path.

function lstat(
path: PathLike,
opts?: StatOptions
): Promise<Stats | BigIntStats>;

Equivalent to fsPromises.stat() unless path refers to a symbolic link, in which case the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to. Refer to the POSIX lstat(2) document for more detail.

@returns

Fulfills with the {fs.Stats} object for the given symbolic link path.

Valid types for path values in "fs".

interface StatOptions

class Stats

A fs.Stats object provides information about a file.

Objects returned from stat, lstat, fstat, and their synchronous counterparts are of this type. If bigint in the options passed to those methods is true, the numeric values will be bigint instead of number, and the object will contain additional nanosecond-precision properties suffixed with Ns. Stat objects are not to be created directly using the new keyword.
