# @nodelib/fs.stat
> Get the status of a file with some features.
## :bulb: Highlights
Wrapper over standard methods ([`fs.lstat`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_lstat_path_callback), [`fs.stat`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_stat_path_callback)) with some features.
* :beginner: Normally follows symlinks.
* :gear: Can safely work with broken symlinks (returns information about symlink instead of generating an error).
## Install
```
$ npm install @nodelib/fs.stat
```
## Usage
```js
const fsStat = require('@nodelib/fs.stat');
fsStat.stat('path').then((stat) => {
console.log(stat); // => fs.Stats
});
```
## API
