+   when FILE is a symbolic link.  On Linux and Solaris 10 systems, the
+   lstat function already has the desired semantics (in treating
+   `lstat ("symlink/", sbuf)' just like `lstat ("symlink/.", sbuf)',
+   but on Solaris 9 and earlier it does not.
+
+   If FILE has a trailing slash and specifies a symbolic link,
+   then use stat() to get more info on the referent of FILE.
+   If the referent is a non-directory, then set errno to ENOTDIR
+   and return -1.  Otherwise, return stat's result.  */
