The following example will print out all the metadata available about a file. It includes the obvious attributes, namely name, size, permissions, last modified time, and whether it is a directory.

It will return // an error if there is no file. fileInfo, err := os.Stat("test.txt") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Println("File name:", fileInfo.Name()) fmt.Println("Size in bytes:", fileInfo.Size()) fmt.Println("Permissions:", fileInfo.Mode()) fmt.Println("Last ...
