stat data structure - some fields not available (CrCh118)

Problem description

Some fields of the stat data structure exist on Tru64 UNIX but not on HP-UX.

The following fields exist only on Tru64 UNIX:

dev_t  st_ldev;     /* Local ID of device:  */
                    /*  conversion of Cluster ID (st_rdev)*/
                    /*  This entry is valid only for */
                    /*   character or block special files */
uint_t  st_flags;   /* user defined flags for file */
uint_t  st_gen;     /* file generation number */  
int     st_uatime;  /* Microseconds of st_atime */      
int     st_umtime;  /* Microseconds of st_mtime */      
int     st_uctime;  /* Microseconds of st_ctime */ 

Among the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that use the stat structure are ftw, nftw, stat, lstat, and fstat.

Identifiers

st_flags	st_ldev	st_uctime
st_gen	st_uatime	st_umtime
