Remark. There is a related function called stat. The difference between stat
and lstat is that, when the file is a symbolic link, stat returns
information about the file that the link refers to, while lstat returns
information about the link itself. For non-symoblic-links, stat and lstat
work the same way.

Can anyone explain the difference between stat (man 2) and lstat, and PLEASE

Thanks
