lstat

Examples:
lstat-EXPR
lstat
Description:

Does the same thing as the stat function (including setting the special _ filehandle) but stats a symbolic link instead of the file the symbolic link points to. If symbolic links are unimplemented on your system, a normal stat is done.

If EXPR is omitted, stats $_.
