int linkinfo ( string path )

linkinfo() returns the st_dev field of the Unix C stat structure returned by the lstat system call. This function is used to verify if a link (pointed to by path) really exists (using the same method as the S_ISLNK macro defined in stat.h). Returns 0 or FALSE in case of error.

Example 1. linkinfo() example
<?php echo linkinfo('/vmlinuz'); // 835 ?>

Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
