NAME
dev_t 包含设备文件的ID
下面的标志用于st_mode域：
实例：
运行结果：
stat 获取文件属性
这个函数位于<sys/stat.h>头文件中
函数原型：
int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);参数：
path 文件路径+文件名
buf 指向buffer的指针
返回值：
-1 遇到错误
0 成功返回
函数作用：
把path文件的信息复制到指针buf所指的结构体中。
描述
stat结构体：
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */
mode_t st_mode; /* protection */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */
dev_t st_rdev; /* device ID (if special file) */
off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */
blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */
blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */
time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_t st_ctime; /* time of last status change */
};dev_t 包含设备文件的ID
st_ino i结点
st_mode 文件类型和许可权限
st_nline 文件链接数
st_uid 用户所有者的ID
st_gid 所属组的ID
st_rdev 设备ID（如果指定文件）
st_size 所占的字节数
st_blksize 文件系统I/O块大小
st_block 分配的512B大小的
st_atime 最后访问时间
st_mtime 最后修改时间
st_ctime 状态最后改变时间
下面的POSIX宏定义用于核对st_mode域的文件类型
S_ISREG(m) 是常规文件?
S_ISDIR(m) 目录?
S_ISCHR(m) 字符设备?
S_ISBLK(m) 块设备?
S_ISFIFO(m) FIFO?
S_ISLNK(m) 符号链接? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
S_ISSOCK(m) 套接字? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)下面的标志用于st_mode域：
S_IFMT 0170000 bit mask for the file type bit fields

S_ISGID 0002000 set-group-ID bit (see below)
S_ISVTX 0001000 sticky bit (see below)
S_IRWXU 00700 mask for file owner permissions
S_IRUSR 00400 owner has read permission
S_IWUSR 00200 owner has write permission
S_IXUSR 00100 owner has execute permission
S_IRWXG 00070 mask for group permissions
S_IRGRP 00040 group has read permission
S_IWGRP 00020 group has write permission

S_IRWXO 00007 mask for permissions for others (not in group)
S_IROTH 00004 others have read permission
S_IWOTH 00002 others have write permission
S_IXOTH 00001 others have execute permission实例：
