fb_lazy_lstat

Note

This is a point-in-time snapshot of the API documentation from January 2026. Going forward, we will not be maintaining a public copy of these references, and recommend users to refer to the built-in signature helpers available in the Hack LSP instead for complete and up-to-date information.

Gathers the statistics of the file named by filename, like lstat(), except uses cached information from an internal inotify-based mechanism that may not be updated during the duration of a request

function fb_lazy_lstat(
  string $filename,
): mixed;

Parameters

• string $filename - Path to a file or a symbolic link.

Returns

• mixed - - Same format as the normal php lstat() function.
