lstat

v2_1_10 - Show latest stable - Class: File
lstat(p1)
public

Same as File::stat, but does not follow the last symbolic link. Instead, reports on the link itself.

File.symlink("testfile", "link2test")   #=> 0
File.stat("testfile").size              #=> 66
File.lstat("link2test").size            #=> 8
File.stat("link2test").size             #=> 66

To find the target of a symlink, use File.readlink
