There is a field in the stat structure called st_size.

Hi
How to find size of a file from a userspace program without using shell commmands with system() etc?
I want to allocate a buffer and read the entire contents of a file, I know this is not good for large files, but I am just
experimenting with small file currently so this is good enough. Is there any system call available for this?
