I am sure, someone has already solved the following problem:
For an implementation of un*x fstat(), i have to do an Examine()
on a filehandle (NOT a struct FileLock *).

So how can I convert filehandles to filelocks (under AmigaDOS 1.3)
or examine the properties of a file associated to a filehandle
directly ?

(BTW: just for motivation of answers: I nearly succeded in compiling
the BSD 4.3 c library for Gnu cc, one of the missing functions is fstat() ...)
