RE: stat() on "hidden" files

I assume . and .. would give a "no such file" error, if you try to
process
them by mistake

-----Original Message-----

I'm having a problem with a dir reader program that uses stat() to
determine the file details.

Problem is that whenever I call stat() with a "hidden" file (i.e. the
name starts with a period) I get a "no such file" error.

I'm sure I've done this before without any problems but I can't see
anything wrong with the code. I've googled for the details of stat()

to

see if there were options of anything but can't find anything.

Any suggestions - or am I just imagining that it ever worked?
