Subject: Getting file attributes
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 18:11:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OF201A5533.4F892774-ON85256B97.007A3CEE@raleigh.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi All,
      I have been working on finding a system call that will retrieve the
current file's attributes, especially the file owner and permissions. have
seen VOP_GETATTR()  in OpenBSD, which returns such information in a
structure. Is there anything equivalent to this on the Linux kernel?
       I've been searching through the kernel code for something equivalent
but my paths have lead me nowhere.

Thanks,
Niki
