# @nodelib/fs.stat
> Get the status of a file with some features.
## :bulb: Highlights
Wrapper around standard method `fs.lstat` and `fs.stat` with some features.
* :beginner: Normally follows symbolic link.
* :gear: Can safely work with broken symbolic link.
## Install
```console
npm install @nodelib/fs.stat
```
## Usage
```ts
import * as fsStat from '@nodelib/fs.stat';
fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
```
## API
### .stat(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)
Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path with standard callback-style.
```ts
fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
fsStat.stat('path', {}, (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings(), (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
```
### .statSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])
Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path.
```ts
const stats = fsStat.stat('path');
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', {});
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings());
```
#### path
* Required: `true`
* Type: `string | Buffer | URL`
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.
#### optionsOrSettings
* Required: `false`
* Type: `Options | Settings`
* Default: An instance of `Settings` class
An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settings) class.
> :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.
### Settings([options])
A class of full settings of the package.
```ts
const settings = new fsStat.Settings({ followSymbolicLink: false });
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', settings);
```
## Options
### `followSymbolicLink`
* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `true`
Follow symbolic link or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.
### `markSymbolicLink`
* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `false`
Mark symbolic link by setting the return value of `isSymbolicLink` function to always `true` (even after `fs.stat`).
> :book: Can be used if you want to know what is hidden behind a symbolic link, but still continue to know that it is a symbolic link.
### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`
* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `true`
Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely return `lstat` call if `false`.
### `fs`
* Type: [`FileSystemAdapter`](./src/adapters/fs.ts)
* Default: A default FS methods
By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.
```ts
interface FileSystemAdapter {
lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
stat?: typeof fs.stat;
lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
}
const settings = new fsStat.Settings({
fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
});
```
