+.. function:: statx(path, mask, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True, flags=0)
+
+   Get selected fields of the status of a file or a file descriptor. Perform the
+   equivalent of a :c:func:`statx` system call on the given path. *path* may be
+   specified as either a string or bytes -- directly or indirectly through the
+   :class:`PathLike` interface -- or as an open file descriptor. Return a
+   :class:`stat_result` object.
+
+   *mask* is a bitwise combination of the ``STATX_*`` attributes in the
+   :mod:`stat` module, indicating which fields the caller intends to use. Note
+   that the set of fields returned may differ from what's requested, if the
+   operating system or file system does not support the metadata, or if it can
+   provide additional fields with no extra effort.
+
+   This function normally follows symlinks; to stat a symlink add the argument
+   ``follow_symlinks=False``.
+
+   This function can support :ref:`specifying a file descriptor <path_fd>` and
+   :ref:`not following symlinks <follow_symlinks>`.
+
+   On Windows, passing ``follow_symlinks=False`` will disable following all
+   name-surrogate reparse points, which includes symlinks and directory
+   junctions. Other types of reparse points that do not resemble links or that
+   the operating system is unable to follow will be opened directly. When
+   following a chain of multiple links, this may result in the original link
+   being returned instead of the non-link that prevented full traversal. To
+   obtain stat results for the final path in this case, use the
+   :func:`os.path.realpath` function to resolve the path name as far as
+   possible and call :func:`lstat` on the result. This does not apply to
+   dangling symlinks or junction points, which will raise the usual exceptions.
