<dt><em>Description</em>:<dd>This function returns information about a file. No permissions are required on
the file itself, but execute (search) permission is required on all of the
directories in path that lead to the file.
<p>The elements that are obtained and stored in the array <code>VALUES</code>:
<p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><code>VALUES(1)</code> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">Device ID

<br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><code>VALUES(9)</code> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">Last access time

<br></td></tr></table>
<p>Not all these elements are relevant on all systems.
If an element is not relevant, it is returned as 0.
<p>This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
only one form can be used in any given program unit.
