 Directory and File Operation Built-ins
 --------------------------------------
 
    Two useful functions that are not in `awk' are `chdir' (so that an
 `awk' program can change its directory) and `stat' (so that an `awk'
 program can gather information about a file).  This minor node
 implements these functions for `gawk' in an external extension library.
