Gnulib module: fstat
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
MSVC 14.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstat} may not correctly
report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB.
(Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
@item
The @code{st_atime}, @code{st_ctime}, @code{st_mtime} fields are affected by
the current time zone and by the DST flag of the current time zone on some
platforms:
mingw, MSVC 14 (when the environment variable @code{TZ} is set).
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
@xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}.
@item
On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns
different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output
are not redirected and refer to the same terminal.
