A File::Stat object is one that contains a file's status information.

Example: stat = File.stat('/etc') # a File::Stat object if stat.directory? puts '/etc is a directory last modified at ' + stat.mtime.to_s end

You can also get a stat object for open file descriptors. a = File.open('some file') a.stat # File::Stat object
