# linkinfo

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

linkinfo -- Gets information about a link

## Description

int linkinfo ( string path)

linkinfo() returns the st_dev field of the UNIX C stat structure returned by the lstat system call. This function is used to verify if a link (pointed to by `path`) really exists (using the same method as the S_ISLNK macro defined in stat.h). Returns 0 or `FALSE` in case of error.

See also symlink(), link(), and readlink().
