Subject: Update: add additional file functions, fix bug with file stat in f_directory
X-Git-Tag: 0.5.0~246
X-Git-Url: https://git.kevux.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de9aaefd8be0cb4ffc964cfe5eea02f4e441841e;p=fll

Update: add additional file functions, fix bug with file stat in f_directory

Add additional f_file functions, move commonly shared code into private f_file files.

The f_directory functions were incorrectly using sizeof().
