Summary
-------

Feature request: Add Device property to Stat class

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Unknown


Description
-----------

Glibc's stat structure includes a st_dev field (integer).  This field returns the id of the device containing the file.  Adding this field to Gambas's stat class would be useful.  For example, you intend to use Gambas's move command on a file.  This would generate a "System error #18: Invalid cross-device link" when you try to move across file systems/devices.  You could avoid this error if you could check device id's with stat before running the move command.

Btw, linux's stat command reports the device id.
