Printing various FILE info
Are there various print formatters for the file object? For example:
char * filepath = argv[1];
FILE * file = fopen(filepath, "r");
printf("Filepath: %sn", file.size);
main4.c:416:32: error: no member named 'size' in 'struct __sFILE'
What are the various items that can be printed from the struct?

To get various information, you can use stat, lstat which populate the struct stat:
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */
mode_t st_mode; /* protection */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */
dev_t st_rdev; /* device ID (if special file) */
off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */
blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for file system I/O */
blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */
time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_t st_ctime; /* time of last status change */
};
