NAME
       oldfstat, oldlstat, oldstat, oldolduname, olduname - obso-
       lete system calls

SYNOPSIS
       Obsolete system calls.

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