<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>
