+ <seealso marker="#read_file_info/1">read_file_info/1</seealso>
+ except that if <c><anno>Filename</anno></c> is a symbolic link,
+ information about the link will be returned in the <c>file_info</c>
+ record and the <c>type</c> field of the record will be set to
+ <c>symlink</c>.</p>
+ <p>If <c><anno>Filename</anno></c> is not a symbolic link, this function
+ returns exactly the same result as <c>read_file_info/1</c>.
+ On platforms that do not support symbolic links, this function
+ is always equivalent to <c>read_file_info/1</c>.</p>
