# @nodelib/fs.stat

> Get the status of a file with some features.

## :bulb: Highlights

Wrapper over standard methods ([`fs.lstat`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_lstat_path_callback), [`fs.stat`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_stat_path_callback)) with some features.

  * :beginner: Normally follows symlinks.
  * :gear: Can safely work with broken symlinks (returns information about symlink instead of generating an error).

## Install

```
$ npm install @nodelib/fs.stat
```

## Usage

```js
const fsStat = require('@nodelib/fs.stat');

fsStat.stat('path').then((stat) => {
    console.log(stat); // => fs.Stats
});
```
