                     20: .it stat,
                     21: except that it operates
                     22: on open files instead of files given by name.
                     23: It is most often used to get the status
                     24: of the standard input and output files, whose names
                     25: are unknown.

                     30: (c-bit) is set if the file descriptor is unknown;
                     31: from C, a \*-1 return indicates an error, 0 indicates success.
