How hard would it be for FreeDOS to support Int 21/AX=71A6h? (Get file information from handle)
This would be very beneficial because it allows an easy way to implement a complete fstat function for C programs. In most clibs, the fstat function is usually incomplete, filling in only as many fields as possible using the usual dos interrupts, but in DJGPP, to obtain as much unix-compatibility as possible, it is forced to use undocumented and difficult tricks to get the filename associated with the handle, only then filling in the appropriate fields. DOSLFN does not currently support this function, and long filename support is not really a prerequisite. -- Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
