NAME
       oldfstat,  oldlstat,  oldstat, oldolduname, olduname - obsolete system
       calls

SYNOPSIS
       Obsolete system calls.

DESCRIPTION
       The Linux 2.0 kernel implements these calls to  support	old  executa-
       bles.   These  calls  return  structures	 which have grown since their
       first implementation, but old executables must continue to receive old
       smaller structures.

       Current	executables should be linked with current libraries and never
       use these calls.

CONFORMING TO
       These calls are unique to Linux and should not be used at all  in  new
       programs.
