Another libc port: stat. It lets you get all sorts of data from a file. Quite handy for a number of things, like testing what kind of file something is, or get the time of the last access, status change, or modification. Should work on all platforms.

Also included is [file_type] object which is written in Pd and uses [stat]. It tells you what kind of file something is (file, folder, character, block, fifo, etc).

Of course, it'll be in the next Pd-extended test release.
