Zig 0.17.0-dev (Split by item)

This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig library itself.

Stat

Windows has no concept of stat.

On Linux, the stat bits/wrappers are removed due to having to maintain the different varying stat structs per target and libc, leading to runtime errors. Users targeting Linux should add a comptime check and use statx, similar to how Io.File.stat does.

posix.Stat

pub const Stat = switch (native_os)

File

lib/std/posix.zig:138

Code

pub const Stat = switch (native_os) {
    .windows => void,
    .linux => void,
    else => system.Stat,
}
