I am trying to use the stat() function under Linux, and am getting the
error:

storage size of 'stbuf' is not known

What is causing this? Code fragment is below. E-mail answer is preferable.

Thank you in advance.

-------- BEGIN INCLUDED CODE FRAGMENT --------

void fred(void)
{
    char *name;
    struct stat stbuf;
/*  also tried "struct new_stat stbuf;" */
/*  it seems Linux has struct old_stat (functionally the same as struct stat)
    and new_stat (old_stat with some other fields) */

    if(stat(name, &stbuf) != NULL)
    {
        /* do something */
    }
}

-------- END INCLUDED CODE FRAGMENT --------
