.Pp
The
+.Fn fstatat
+system call is equivalent to
+.Fn stat
+and
+.Fn lstat
+except in the case where the
+.Fa path
+specifies a relative path.
+In this case the status is retrieved from a file relative to
+the directory associated with the file descriptor
+.Fa fd
+instead of the current working directory.
+.Pp
+The values for the
+.Fa flag
+are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive OR of flags from the following list,
+defined in
+.In fcntl.h :
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
+If
+.Fa path
+names a symbolic link, the status of the symbolic link is returned.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Fn fstatat
+is passed the special value
+.Dv AT_FDCWD
+in the
+.Fa fd
+parameter, the current working directory is used and the behavior is
+identical to a call to
+.Fn stat
+or
+.Fn lstat
+respectively, depending on whether or not the
+.Dv AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
+bit is set in
+.Fa flag .
+.Pp
+The
.Fa buf
argument is a pointer to a
.Fa stat
and into which information is placed concerning the file.
When the macro
.Dv _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
-is not defined (the
-.Ft ino_t
-type is 32-bits), the
+is not defined (see below for more information about this macro), the
.Fa stat
structure is defined as:
.Bd -literal
dev_t st_dev; /* device inode resides on */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode's number */
mode_t st_mode; /* inode protection mode */
- nlink_t st_nlink; /* number or hard links to the file */
+ nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links to the file */
uid_t st_uid; /* user-id of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group-id of owner */
dev_t st_rdev; /* device type, for special file inode */
However, when the macro
.Dv _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
is defined, the
-.Ft ino_t
-type will be 64-bits (force 64-bit inode mode by defining the
-.Dv _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE
-macro before including header files).
-This will cause symbol variants of the
-.Fa stat
-family, with the
-.Fa $INODE64
-suffixes, to be automatically linked in.
-In addition, the
.Fa stat
structure will now be defined as:
.Bd -literal
.Aq Pa sys/stat.h
and
.Xr chflags 2 .
+.Sh _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
+In order to accommodate advanced capabilities of newer file systems, the
+.Fa struct stat ,
+.Fa struct statfs ,
+and
+.Fa struct dirent
+data structures were updated in Mac OSX 10.5.
+.Pp
+The most obvious change is the increased size of
+.Fa ino_t
+from 32 bits to 64 bits. As a consequence, storing an ino_t in an int is
+no longer safe, and file formats storing ino_t as 32-bit values may need to
+be updated. There are other changes as well, such as the widening of
+.Fa f_fstypename ,
+.Fa f_mntonname ,
+and
+.Fa f_mntfromname
+in
+.Fa struct statfs .
+Please refer to
+.Xr stat 2
+and
+.Xr dir 5
+for more detail on the specific changes to the other affected data structures.
+.Pp
+On platforms that existed before these updates were available, ABI
+compatibility is achieved by providing two implementations for related
+functions: one using the legacy data structures and one using the updated
+data structures. Variants which make use of the newer structures have their
+symbols suffixed with $INODE64. These $INODE64 suffixes are automatically
+appended by the compiler tool-chain and should not be used directly.
+.Pp
+Platforms that were released after these updates only have the newer variants
+available to them. These platforms have the macro
+.Dv _DARWIN_FEATURE_ONLY_64_BIT_INODE
+defined.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dv _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
+macro should not be set directly. Instead, developers should make use of the
+.Dv _DARWIN_NO_64_BIT_INODE
+or
+.Dv _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE
+macros when the default variant is not desired. The following table details
+the effects of defining these macros for different deployment targets.

+Due to the increased benefits of the larger structure, it is highly
+recommended that developers not define
+.Dv _DARWIN_NO_64_BIT_INODE
+and make use of
+.Dv _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE
+when targeting Mac OSX 10.5.
+.Pp
+In addition to the $INODE64 suffixed symbols, variants suffixed with 64 are
+also available for related functions. These functions were provided as a way
+for developers to use the updated structures in code that also made use of
+the legacy structures. The enlarged stat structures were also prefixed with
+64 to distinguish them from their legacy variants. These functions have been
+deprecated and should be avoided.
