How to use stat(),fstat(),lstat() in Unix ?

/*
  This program can tell you the type of the files given .
  struct stat include the information of the file.

*****************struct stat************************
struct stat {
    dev_t     st_dev;      ID of device containing file
    ino_t     st_ino;      inode number
    mode_t    st_mode;     protection
    nlink_t   st_nlink;    number of hard links
    uid_t     st_uid;      user ID of owner
    gid_t     st_gid;      group ID of owner
    dev_t     st_rdev;     device ID (if special file)
    off_t     st_size;     total size, in bytes
    blksize_t st_blksize;  blocksize for filesystem I/O
    blkcnt_t  st_blocks;   number of blocks allocated
    time_t    st_atime;    time of last access
    time_t    st_mtime;    time of last modification
    time_t    st_ctime;    time of last status change
};
******************************************************

we use some macros to test the type of the file
*****************************macros*******************
    S_ISREG(m)
        is it a regular file?
    S_ISDIR(m)
        directory?
    S_ISCHR(m)
        character device?
    S_ISBLK(m)
        block device?
    S_ISFIFO(m)
        FIFO (named pipe)?
    S_ISLNK(m)
        symbolic link? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
    S_ISSOCK(m)
        socket? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
******************************************************

There are three functions given you can use.
******************************************************
int stat(const char *restrict pathname, struct stat *restrict buff);
int fstat(int filedes, struct stat *restrict buff);
int lstat(const char *restrict pathname, struct stat *restrict buff);
******************************************************
