Buongiorno! (buona notte?!)

stat() is how I do it.

h bnddir('QC2LE')

 * File stats                                        
 *   #include <sys/stat.h>                           
 *                                                   
 *   int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);   
 *                                                   
Dstat             pr            10i 0 extproc('stat')
D                                 *   value          
D                                 *   value          

 * The OVERLAY is needed to align for the halfword st_nlink 
Dinfo             DS                  inz

C                   eval      rc=stat(full_fn:%addr(info))

full_fn is the null terminated path to the file.  I may have left something
out of this snippet, but it should help.  I think the archives have better
examples than this...
