Is the command line tool /usr/bin/stat on every Mac or is it part of (and installed with) Developer Tools?
why not declare to stat function directly if you need it?
(or use a plugin)
Trying to get st_ino (file inode number)
Managed to successfully retrieve it via command line with stat -f "%i"
How might that get translated declare-wise?
Unfortunately can’t use a plugin, the code is not for myself.
If /usr/bin/stat is on every Mac then it should be all set, but I cannot determine if it’s installed for everyone or if it’s a developer tool. Google doesn’t seem to know.
pretty sure since it appeared in NetBSD and FreeBSD that it does
you sure you dont want a plain declare into lstat or something ?
I’m not exactly sure what that declare would look like.
I have virtual machines for Leopard, Snow Leopard and Yosemite - none have any developer tools installed AFAIK, and all have stat.
