class os.stat_result  
Object whose attributes correspond roughly to the members of the stat structure. It is used for the result of os.stat(), os.fstat() and os.lstat(). Attributes:  
st_mode  
File mode: file type and file mode bits (permissions). 
  
st_ino  
Platform dependent, but if non-zero, uniquely identifies the file for a given value of st_dev. Typically:  the inode number on Unix, the file index on Windows  
  
st_dev  
Identifier of the device on which this file resides. 
  
st_nlink  
Number of hard links. 
  
st_uid  
User identifier of the file owner. 
  
st_gid  
Group identifier of the file owner. 
  
st_size  
Size of the file in bytes, if it is a regular file or a symbolic link. The size of a symbolic link is the length of the pathname it contains, without a terminating null byte. 
 Timestamps:  
st_atime  
Time of most recent access expressed in seconds. 
  
st_mtime  
Time of most recent content modification expressed in seconds. 
  
st_ctime  
Platform dependent:  the time of most recent metadata change on Unix, the time of creation on Windows, expressed in seconds.  
  
st_atime_ns  
Time of most recent access expressed in nanoseconds as an integer. 
  
st_mtime_ns  
Time of most recent content modification expressed in nanoseconds as an integer. 
  
st_ctime_ns  
Platform dependent:  the time of most recent metadata change on Unix, the time of creation on Windows, expressed in nanoseconds as an integer.  
  Note The exact meaning and resolution of the st_atime, st_mtime, and st_ctime attributes depend on the operating system and the file system. For example, on Windows systems using the FAT or FAT32 file systems, st_mtime has 2-second resolution, and st_atime has only 1-day resolution. See your operating system documentation for details. Similarly, although st_atime_ns, st_mtime_ns, and st_ctime_ns are always expressed in nanoseconds, many systems do not provide nanosecond precision. On systems that do provide nanosecond precision, the floating-point object used to store st_atime, st_mtime, and st_ctime cannot preserve all of it, and as such will be slightly inexact. If you need the exact timestamps you should always use st_atime_ns, st_mtime_ns, and st_ctime_ns.  On some Unix systems (such as Linux), the following attributes may also be available:  
st_blocks  
Number of 512-byte blocks allocated for file. This may be smaller than st_size/512 when the file has holes. 
  
st_blksize  
“Preferred” blocksize for efficient file system I/O. Writing to a file in smaller chunks may cause an inefficient read-modify-rewrite. 
  
st_rdev  
Type of device if an inode device. 
  
st_flags  
User defined flags for file. 
 On other Unix systems (such as FreeBSD), the following attributes may be available (but may be only filled out if root tries to use them):  
st_gen  
File generation number. 
  
st_birthtime  
Time of file creation. 
 On Solaris and derivatives, the following attributes may also be available:  
st_fstype  
String that uniquely identifies the type of the filesystem that contains the file. 
 On Mac OS systems, the following attributes may also be available:  
st_rsize  
Real size of the file. 
  
st_creator  
Creator of the file. 
  
st_type  
File type. 
 On Windows systems, the following attributes are also available:  
st_file_attributes  
Windows file attributes: dwFileAttributes member of the BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION structure returned by GetFileInformationByHandle(). See the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_* constants in the stat module. 
  
st_reparse_tag  
When st_file_attributes has the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT set, this field contains the tag identifying the type of reparse point. See the IO_REPARSE_TAG_* constants in the stat module. 
 The standard module stat defines functions and constants that are useful for extracting information from a stat structure. (On Windows, some items are filled with dummy values.) For backward compatibility, a stat_result instance is also accessible as a tuple of at least 10 integers giving the most important (and portable) members of the stat structure, in the order st_mode, st_ino, st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, st_gid, st_size, st_atime, st_mtime, st_ctime. More items may be added at the end by some implementations. For compatibility with older Python versions, accessing stat_result as a tuple always returns integers.  New in version 3.3: Added the st_atime_ns, st_mtime_ns, and st_ctime_ns members.   New in version 3.5: Added the st_file_attributes member on Windows.   Changed in version 3.5: Windows now returns the file index as st_ino when available.   New in version 3.7: Added the st_fstype member to Solaris/derivatives.   New in version 3.8: Added the st_reparse_tag member on Windows.   Changed in version 3.8: On Windows, the st_mode member now identifies special files as S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO or S_IFBLK as appropriate.
