From Linux man stat(2):

       stat stats the file pointed to by file_name and  fills  in
       buf.

       lstat  is  identical to stat, except in the case of a sym-
       bolic link, where the link itself is stat-ed, not the file
       that it refers to.

So what you want is probably 

        val lstat : string -> stats
        (** Same as {!Unix.stat}, but in case the file is a symbolic link,
           return the informations for the link itself. *)
        
this one...
