The lstatsync
function from the fs-extra
package in Node.js is used to retrieve the file statistics of a symbolic link, similar to the lstatSync
function from the built-in fs
module.
Here's an example of how to use lstatsync
:
index.tsx151 chars9 lines
In this example, lstatsync
is used to retrieve the file statistics of a symbolic link located at /path/to/symlink
. The function returns an fs.Stats
object, which contains information such as the file's size, mode, and modification time.
It's important to note that lstatsync
will throw an error if the file or directory being accessed does not exist. Therefore, it's recommended to wrap the function call in a try-catch block as shown in the example above.
Overall, lstatsync
is a useful function for working with symbolic links in Node.js, and the fs-extra
package provides a simple way to access it.
