 If the file descriptor is valid, then @command{gawk} will have filled
 in this structure via a call to the @code{fstat()} system call.
 Otherwise, if the @code{lstat()} system call is available, it will
 use that. If @code{lstat()} is not available, then it uses @code{stat()}.

 Getting the file's information allows extensions to check the type of
 the file even if it could not be opened.  This occurs, for example,
 on Windows systems when trying to use @code{open()} on a directory.
