3.2.90 lstat

lstat EXPR

This function does the same thing as the stat function, but if the last component of the filename is a symbolic link, 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 instead.)
