how to use the fstat function from fs-extra in javascript

The fs-extra module is a Node.js library that provides a higher level of abstraction over the built-in fs module. It includes additional functionality like copying, moving, and removing files and directories.

To use the fstat function from fs-extra, you need to require the module and then call the function with the file descriptor as a parameter. Here is an example code snippet:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');

fs.open('/path/to/file', 'r', (err, fd) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  fs.fstat(fd, (err, stats) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(stats);
    // use the stats object
  });
});

In this example, we first call the open function to get a file descriptor for the file we want to get information about. Then we pass that file descriptor to the fstat function, which returns information about the file in a stats object.

You can use the stats object to get information like the file size, permissions, and modification time. For more information, refer to the Node.js documentation for the fs.Stats object.
