Notes
Avoids path resolution entirely, which makes it the safest stat variant against race conditions. Works on regular files, directories, sockets, pipes and other vnode-backed fds; type bits live in st_mode.
Detection
ES NOTIFY_STAT may be emitted with the underlying vnode. syscall::fstat64:entry in DTrace.
