# FUSE stat

> Tag 6: the server asks what an entry of the mount is, how long, whose, with what mode, and when the client serves live, by the path of the entry within the mount; the client answers with exactly one channel response, the kind, the size, the mode, the owner, the group and the three times, the absence of the entry, or an error.

Canonical: https://protocol.diverge.network/2.3.0/container-proxy-endpoints/fuse-mount/server/stat/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The server opens this channel when a program in the container performs
the operation on the mount. The ask names the entry by its path
within the mount, and names no mount: the scope is the mount.

- **The request.** The tag byte `6` followed by the ask.
  [Request](/2.3.0/container-proxy-endpoints/fuse-mount/server/stat/request/) states its form.
- **The response.** Exactly one channel response and the channel
  response finish. [Response](/2.3.0/container-proxy-endpoints/fuse-mount/server/stat/response/) states the
  sequence.
- **The meaning.** What the ask means, and what its answer means,
  [FUSE stat](/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-agents-run/server/fuse-stat/) states; the client relays the ask
  to its client with the mount's id in front of it.
- **No repetition.** The server sends the ask exactly once. A channel
  that ends without a finish, and a channel response finish that no
  channel response precedes, are reported to the program as the
  operation failed.
