-         An optimization of \function{os.stat()}}

-
-\deprecated{2.2}{Use \function{\refmodule{os}.stat()} directly instead
-of using the cache; the cache introduces a very high level of
-fragility in applications using it and complicates application code
-with the addition of cache management support.}
-
-The \module{statcache} module provides a simple optimization to
-\function{os.stat()}: remembering the values of previous invocations.
-
-The \module{statcache} module defines the following functions:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{stat}{path}
-This is the main module entry-point.
-Identical for \function{os.stat()}, except for remembering the result
-for future invocations of the function.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-The rest of the functions are used to clear the cache, or parts of
-it.
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{reset}{}
-Clear the cache: forget all results of previous \function{stat()}
-calls.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{forget}{path}
-Forget the result of \code{stat(\var{path})}, if any.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{forget_prefix}{prefix}
-Forget all results of \code{stat(\var{path})} for \var{path} starting
-with \var{prefix}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{forget_dir}{prefix}
-Forget all results of \code{stat(\var{path})} for \var{path} a file in 
-the directory \var{prefix}, including \code{stat(\var{prefix})}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{forget_except_prefix}{prefix}
-Similar to \function{forget_prefix()}, but for all \var{path} values
-\emph{not} starting with \var{prefix}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> import os, statcache
->>> statcache.stat('.')
-(16893, 2049, 772, 18, 1000, 1000, 2048, 929609777, 929609777, 929609777)
->>> os.stat('.')
-(16893, 2049, 772, 18, 1000, 1000, 2048, 929609777, 929609777, 929609777)
