# linkinfo

(PHP 3 <= 3.0.18, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

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().

> Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
