struct stat st_blocks and st_blksize

Hi everyone,

I'm writing some code which should find the 'size' of a file in bytes, and the 'size on disk' of the file - the size considering the wasted space considering clusters.

This is no problem - using:

struct stat attrib;
stat(path.c_str(), &attrib);

size = attrib.st_size;
sizeOnDisk = (attrib.st_blocks * attrib.st_blksize);

I can get the correct values. This will compile fine in g++ etc but trying to get it to compile in Borland compiler, I find that st_blocks and st_blksize are not members of struct stat.

Is there another method I can use to get these values?

Thanks in advance

What does your borland manual page say about the fields returned by stat() ?
stat() is not a portable function, and what it returns isn't portable either.

Probably, but that depends on which of the many borland compilers there have been over the years you actually have.
