See [https://hackage.haskell.org/package/HFuse/docs/System- Fuse.html#t:FileStat FileStat docs on Hackage]. I have patches for `base` and `unix` ready to add wrappers for all the types the comment mentions, let's see if I can figure out how to use Phab ;) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12795> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
