Source: R/disk.R
ps_fs_stat.Rd

This function is currently not implemented on Windows.

Usage

ps_fs_stat(paths, follow = TRUE)

Arguments

paths

Paths to files, directories, devices, etc. They must exist. They are expanded using base::path.expand().

follow

Whether to follow symbolic links. If FALSE it returns information on the links themselves.

Value

Data frame with one row for each path in paths. Columns:

  • path: Expanded paths.

  • dev_major: Major device ID of the device the path resides on.

  • dev_minor: Minor device ID of the device the path resodes on.

  • inode: Inode number.

  • mode: File type and mode (permissions). It is easier to use the type and permissions columns.

  • type: File type, character. One of regular file, directory, character device, block device, FIFO, symbolic link, socket.

  • permissions: Permissions, numeric code in an integer column.

  • nlink: Number of hard links.

  • uid: User id of owner.

  • gid: Group id of owner.

  • rdev_major: If the path is a device, its major device id, otherwise NA_integer_.

  • rdev_minor: IF the path is a device, its minor device id, otherwise NA_integer_.

  • size: File size in bytes.

  • block_size: Block size for filesystem I/O.

  • blocks: Number of 512B blocks allocated.

  • access_time: Time of last access.

  • modification_time: Time of last modification.

  • change_time: Time of last status change.
