# stat method

Future<FileStat> stat ()

Calls the operating system's stat() function on the path of this FileSystemEntity.

Identical to `FileStat.stat(this.path)`.

Returns a `Future<FileStat>` object containing the data returned by stat().

If the call fails, completes the future with a FileStat object with .type set to FileSystemEntityType.notFound and the other fields invalid.

## Implementation

    Future<FileStat> stat() => FileStat.stat(path);
