      NAME
           stat, lstat, fstat - get file status

      SYNTAX
           integer function stat (name, statb)
           character*(*) name
           integer statb(12)

           integer function lstat (name, statb)
           character*(*) name
           integer statb(12)

           integer function fstat (lunit, statb)
           integer statb(12)

      DESCRIPTION
           These routines return detailed information about a file.
           Stat and lstat return information about file name; fstat
           returns information about the file associated with fortran
           logical unit lunit. The order and meaning of the information
           returned in array statb is as described for the structure
           stat under stat(2).  The ``spare'' values are not included.

           The value of either function will be zero if successful; an
           error code otherwise.
