   The lstatSync function takes a single argument, which is the path to the symbolic link.

4. You can then access the properties of the stats object to get information about the file or directory that the symbolic link points to:

   index.ts
   console.log(`Size: ${stats.size}`);
   console.log(`Is file: ${stats.isFile()}`);
   console.log(`Is directory: ${stats.isDirectory()}`);
   console.log(`Is symbolic link: ${stats.isSymbolicLink()}`);
