What specifically on that page tells me how the fields get filled for NUL? If you are referring to the "if path refers to a device..." sentence: how does it determine that NUL is a device? > See above: if stat() (_stat() actually) is called on NUL (or another > device), I don't think it does anything useful with these fields. You mean, it does nothing documented... AFAICT from the code, it always fills in something.
