Description:
------------
The stat() functions "blocks" element is the number of 512-byte blocks used by the file, NOT the number of filesystem blocks. The "blksize" element contains the size of a filesystem block. The number 512 should appear somewhere on that documentation page, and NOT just as a user comment - right in the table of elements.

Consider, for example, changing "number of blocks allocated **" to "number of 512-byte blocks allocated **"

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
