# statSync method

FileStat statSync (String path)

Calls the operating system's stat() function on `path`.

Returns a FileStat object containing the data returned by stat(). If the call fails, returns a FileStat object with .type set to FileSystemEntityType.notFound and the other fields invalid.

## Implementation

    static FileStat statSync(String path) {
      final IOOverrides overrides = IOOverrides.current;
      if (overrides == null) {
        return _statSyncInternal(path);
      }
      return overrides.statSync(path);
    }
