Use case: I have custom logic to determine the NFS File ID. Currently, the only to return it to clients is by returning a
syscall.Stat_t
fromSys()
, which cannot work on Windows machines.This PR introduces a small interface, which, if implemented by the
os.FileInfo
implementation, allows returning an explicit*file.FileInfo
. If unimplemented, existing logic remains, so should be backwards compatible.
