OS call to get file size

[Castellen]

Or use lstat()


#include

struct stat *stat_info;

lstat("filename", stat_info);

printf("The file is %d bytes in size", stat_info->st_size);


Or something like that anyway.  I think the beers are having an adverse affect on my memory :pint:
Just noticed that original post was October last year.  I hope he's figured it out by now!

Yep, makes sense to use it without using structure pointers like that.

Not sure if this is the most efficient way to do the job, but also in the "stat" structure are things like file date, file comments, etc, which can be useful.

It's a good general purpose "give me every information available about a file" type of function.
