Description
Here in the stat(2) man page:
The buf argument is a pointer to a stat structure into which information is placed concerning the file. A stat structure includes the following members: mode_t st_mode; /* File mode (see mknod(2)) */ ino_t st_ino; /* Inode number */ dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing */ /* a directory entry for this file */ dev_t st_rdev; /* ID of device */ /* This entry is defined only for */ /* char special or block special files */ nlink_t st_nlink; /* Number of links */ uid_t st_uid; /* User ID of the file's owner */ gid_t st_gid; /* Group ID of the file's group */ off_t st_size; /* File size in bytes */ time_t st_atime; /* Time of last access */ time_t st_mtime; /* Time of last data modification */ time_t st_ctime; /* Time of last file status change */ /* Times measured in seconds since */ /* 00:00:00 UTC, Jan. 1, 1970 */ long st_blksize; /* Preferred I/O block size */ blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* Number of 512 byte blocks allocated*/ char st_fstype[_ST_FSTYPSZ]; /* Null-terminated type of filesystem */
the types for st_atime, st_mtime, and st_ctime should be changed from time_t to timestruc_t. Also, the members name should not contain the trailing 'e' (i.e. st_atime -> st_atim, st_mtime -> st_mtim, st_ctime -> st_ctim). Finally, the list of the stat struct members should be reordered to follow both the implementation in sys/stat.h and POSIX.
