struct stat {

unsigned short st_mode;
short st_nlink;

From MSDN Help:
The _fstat function obtains information about the open file associated
with fd and stores it in the structure pointed to by buffer. The _stat
structure, defined in SYS\STAT.H, contains the following fields:
st_atime
Time of last file access.
st_ctime
Time of creation of file.
st_dev
If a device, fd; otherwise 0.
st_mode
Bit mask for file-mode information. The _S_IFCHR bit is set if fd refers
to a device. The _S_IFREG bit is set if fd refers to an ordinary file.
The read/write bits are set according to the file's permission mode.
_S_IFCHR and other constants are defined in SYS\STAT.H.
st_mtime
Time of last modification of file.
st_nlink
Always 1 on non-NTFS file systems.
st_rdev
If a device, fd; otherwise 0.
st_size
Size of the file in bytes.
Probably googling for the constants will show up some more useful
information , too.
Hope this helps.
