| fp | Points to a file structure returned by the fp_open kernel service. |
| statbuf | Points to a buffer defined to be of stat or fullstat type structure. The statsz parameter indicates the buffer type. |
| statsz | Indicates the size of the stat or fullstat structure to be returned. The /usr/include/sys/stat.h file contains information about the stat structure. |
| segflag | Specifies the flag indicating where the information represented by the statbuf parameter is located: |
The fp_fstat kernel service is an internal interface to the function provided by the fstatx subroutine.
The fp_fstat kernel service can be called from the process environment only.
| 0 | Indicates a successful operation. |
If an error occurs, one of the values from the /usr/include/sys/errno.h file is returned.
