:mod:`stat` --- Interpreting :func:`stat` results
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: stat
|
|
:synopsis: Utilities for interpreting the results of os.stat(), os.lstat() and os.fstat().
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Skip Montanaro <skip@automatrix.com>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`stat` module defines constants and functions for interpreting the
|
|
results of :func:`os.stat`, :func:`os.fstat` and :func:`os.lstat` (if they
|
|
exist). For complete details about the :cfunc:`stat`, :cfunc:`fstat` and
|
|
:cfunc:`lstat` calls, consult the documentation for your system.
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`stat` module defines the following functions to test for specific file
|
|
types:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISDIR(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISCHR(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a character special device file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISBLK(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a block special device file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISREG(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a regular file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISFIFO(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a FIFO (named pipe).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISLNK(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a symbolic link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_ISSOCK(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return non-zero if the mode is from a socket.
|
|
|
|
Two additional functions are defined for more general manipulation of the file's
|
|
mode:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_IMODE(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return the portion of the file's mode that can be set by :func:`os.chmod`\
|
|
---that is, the file's permission bits, plus the sticky bit, set-group-id, and
|
|
set-user-id bits (on systems that support them).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: S_IFMT(mode)
|
|
|
|
Return the portion of the file's mode that describes the file type (used by the
|
|
:func:`S_IS\*` functions above).
|
|
|
|
Normally, you would use the :func:`os.path.is\*` functions for testing the type
|
|
of a file; the functions here are useful when you are doing multiple tests of
|
|
the same file and wish to avoid the overhead of the :cfunc:`stat` system call
|
|
for each test. These are also useful when checking for information about a file
|
|
that isn't handled by :mod:`os.path`, like the tests for block and character
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
All the variables below are simply symbolic indexes into the 10-tuple returned
|
|
by :func:`os.stat`, :func:`os.fstat` or :func:`os.lstat`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_MODE
|
|
|
|
Inode protection mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_INO
|
|
|
|
Inode number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_DEV
|
|
|
|
Device inode resides on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_NLINK
|
|
|
|
Number of links to the inode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_UID
|
|
|
|
User id of the owner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_GID
|
|
|
|
Group id of the owner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_SIZE
|
|
|
|
Size in bytes of a plain file; amount of data waiting on some special files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_ATIME
|
|
|
|
Time of last access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_MTIME
|
|
|
|
Time of last modification.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: ST_CTIME
|
|
|
|
The "ctime" as reported by the operating system. On some systems (like Unix) is
|
|
the time of the last metadata change, and, on others (like Windows), is the
|
|
creation time (see platform documentation for details).
|
|
|
|
The interpretation of "file size" changes according to the file type. For plain
|
|
files this is the size of the file in bytes. For FIFOs and sockets under most
|
|
flavors of Unix (including Linux in particular), the "size" is the number of
|
|
bytes waiting to be read at the time of the call to :func:`os.stat`,
|
|
:func:`os.fstat`, or :func:`os.lstat`; this can sometimes be useful, especially
|
|
for polling one of these special files after a non-blocking open. The meaning
|
|
of the size field for other character and block devices varies more, depending
|
|
on the implementation of the underlying system call.

Example::
|
|
|
|
import os, sys
|
|
from stat import *
|
|
|
|
def walktree(top, callback):
|
|
'''recursively descend the directory tree rooted at top,
|
|
calling the callback function for each regular file'''
|
|
|
|
for f in os.listdir(top):
|
|
pathname = os.path.join(top, f)
|
|
mode = os.stat(pathname)[ST_MODE]
|
|
if S_ISDIR(mode):
|
|
# It's a directory, recurse into it
|
|
walktree(pathname, callback)
|
|
elif S_ISREG(mode):
|
|
# It's a file, call the callback function
|
|
callback(pathname)
|
|
else:
|
|
# Unknown file type, print a message
|
|
print('Skipping %s' % pathname)
|
|
|
|
def visitfile(file):
|
|
print('visiting', file)
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
|
walktree(sys.argv[1], visitfile)
