+.. function:: statx(path, mask, flags=0, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True)
+
+   Get the status of a file or file descriptor by performing 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. *mask* is a combination of the module-level
+   :const:`STATX_* <STATX_TYPE>` constants specifying the information to
+   retrieve. *flags* is a combination of the module-level
+   :const:`AT_STATX_* <AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC>` constants and/or
+   :const:`AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT`. Returns a :class:`statx_result` object whose
+   :attr:`~os.statx_result.stx_mask` attribute specifies the information
+   actually retrieved (which may differ from *mask*).
+
+   This function supports :ref:`specifying a file descriptor <path_fd>`,
+   :ref:`paths relative to directory descriptors <dir_fd>`, and
+   :ref:`not following symlinks <follow_symlinks>`.
