The
stats.mode property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the fs.Stats class which is used to get the file type and mode as bit-field.
Syntax:
stats.mode;
Return Value: It returns a number or BigInt value that represents a bit-field that describes the file type and mode.
Below examples illustrate the use of stats.mode in Node.js:
Example 1:
Output:
using stat: the type and mode bit-field of the file is 33206
using lstat: the type and mode bit-field of the file is 33206
using stat: the type and mode bit-field of the file is 16822
using lstat: the type and mode bit-field of the file is 16822
Example 2:
Output:
(node:9448) ExperimentalWarning: The fs.promises API
is experimental
using stat synchronous: the type and mode bit-field
of the file is 33206
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the
node filename.js command and use the file_path correctly.
