 More items may be added at the end by some implementations.  Note that
 on the Mac OS, the time values are floating point values, like all
 time values on the Mac OS.

 The standard module \refmodule{stat}\refstmodindex{stat} defines
 functions and constants that are useful for extracting information
 from a \ctype{stat} structure.

 - If the size passed to mmap.mmap() is larger than the length of the
