  <simpara>
   Returns information about an existing <parameter>stream</parameter>.
   The stream can be any stream created by <function>fopen</function>,
   <function>fsockopen</function> and <function>pfsockopen</function>.
   The result array contains the following items:
  </simpara>
  <itemizedlist>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>timed_out</parameter> (bool) - &true; if the stream
     timed out while waiting for data on the last call to
     <function>fread</function> or <function>fgets</function>.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>blocked</parameter> (bool) - &true; if the stream is
     in blocking IO mode. See <function>stream_set_blocking</function>.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>eof</parameter> (bool) - &true; if the stream has reached
     end-of-file.  Note that for socket streams this member can be &true;
     even when <parameter>unread_bytes</parameter> is non-zero.  To
     determine if there is more data to be read, use
     <function>feof</function> instead of reading this item.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>unread_bytes</parameter> (int) - the number of bytes
     currently contained in the PHP's own internal buffer.
    </para>
    <note>
     <simpara>
      You shouldn't use this value in a script.
     </simpara>
    </note>
   </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>
  <simpara>
   The following items were added in PHP 4.3.0:
  </simpara>
  <itemizedlist>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>stream_type</parameter> (string) - a label describing
     the underlying implementation of the stream.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>wrapper_type</parameter> (string) - a label describing
     the protocol wrapper implementation layered over the stream.
     See <xref linkend="wrappers"/> for more information about wrappers.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>wrapper_data</parameter> (mixed) - wrapper specific
     data attached to this stream.  See <xref linkend="wrappers"/> for
     more information about wrappers and their wrapper data.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>filters</parameter> (array) - and array containing
     the names of any filters that have been stacked onto this stream.
     Documentation on filters can be found in the
     <link linkend="filters">Filters appendix</link>.
    </para>
   </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>
  <note>
   <para>
    This function was introduced in PHP 4.3.0, but prior to this version,
    <function>socket_get_status</function> could be used to retrieve
    the first four items, for <emphasis>socket based streams only</emphasis>.
   </para>
   <para>
    In PHP 4.3.0 and later,
    <function>socket_get_status</function> is an alias for this function.
   </para>
  </note>
  <note>
   <simpara>This function does NOT work on sockets created by the <link
     linkend="ref.sockets">Socket extension</link>.
   </simpara>
  </note>
  <simpara>
   The following items were added in PHP 5.0.0:
  </simpara>
  <itemizedlist>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>mode</parameter> (string) - the type of access required for
     this stream (see Table 1 of the <link
     linkend="function.fopen">fopen()</link> reference)
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>seekable</parameter> (bool) - whether the current stream can
     be seeked.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     <parameter>uri</parameter> (string) - the URI/filename associated with this
     stream.
    </para>
   </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>
