Linux C problem with file link(device,socket) /dev/fd/ need avoid links transition

Question

I need a program that should count files,find the biggest of them and total summ of files in directory and subdirectories(for subdirectory separately ) and what a problem: my programm always try go by links,but i don't need that! i try to find link and socket files, but something don't work

You are using stat() when you should be using lstat(). From the lstat() manual page:

lstat() is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link, then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to.
