# init(_:relativeTo:flags:retryOnInterrupt:) Creates a `Stat` struct from an `UnsafePointer` path and `Flags`, including a `FileDescriptor` to resolve a relative path. ``` init(_ path: UnsafePointer, relativeTo fd: FileDescriptor, flags: Stat.Flags, retryOnInterrupt: Bool = true) throws(Errno) ``` ## Discussion If `path` is absolute (starts with a forward slash), then `fd` is ignored. If `path` is relative, it is resolved against the directory given by `fd`. The corresponding C function is `fstatat()`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
