Detailed Description

Represents Fileattributes.

With this, you can get attributes like size, different dates/times and checks whether the file is a regular file, pipe or folder.
This class uses the gnulibc standard types. On most architectures (i386) the sizes of the used types treated as follows:

off_t       uint
mode_t      uint
ino_t       unsigned long int
ino64_t     unsigned long long int
dev_t       int
nlink_t     unsigned short int
blkcnt_t    unsigned long int
blkcnt64_t  unsigned long long int 

if compiled with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64:

off_t       unsigned long int
ino_t       ino64_t
blkcnt_t    blkcnt64_t 

Todo:

implement mime - size and date does not work
