| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fIsftp\fP - SFTP instance as returned by |
| .BR libssh2_sftp_init(3) |
| |
| \fIpath\fP - Remote filesystem object to stat/lstat/setstat. |
| |
| \fIpath_len\fP - Lenght of the name of the remote filesystem object |
| to stat/lstat/setstat. |
| |
| \fIstat_type\fP - One of the three constants specifying the type of |
| stat operation to perform. |
| |
| \fIattrs\fP - Pointer to attribute structure to set file metadata |
| from or into depending on the value of stat_type. |

| getting statbuf data, |
| .BR libssh2_sftp_stat(3) |
| will follow all symlinks, while |

| will return data about the object encountered, even if that object |
| happens to be a symlink. |
| |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns |
| LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While |
| LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se. |
| |

| received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to |
| be returned by the server. |
