Excerpts from netnews.comp.lang.c: 12-Jun-90 How to read in file size
Haseen I. Alam at umn-d-ub. (1555)


 I am using BSD Unix 4.2 on Sun 3's, a Sparc, and on a Encore multimax. .....

 I am aware of the wc (word count) program in unix......

>  .....But I need to read that into my program....  Is there a built in C
function that will do this.

 Any helpful gesture will be highly appreciated.  Thanks.

 Haseen.

In BSD (at least) - look up the function 'stat' and its structure field
'st_size'.

--fish
