undefined: ioutil.Stat

[Soham]

Hi all,

sorry to bother with mickey mouse kinda syntax but I am not able to
get this. I am just trying to fool around with this language.

For the following code

package main

import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {
if c, d := ioutil.Stat(os.Args[1]); d == nil {
for i := 0; i < len(c); i++ {
fmt.Println(os.Args[1], " is a directory and file description is ",
c[i].Uid, c[i].Size)
}
} else {
fmt.Println(d)
}
}

It gives error undefined: ioutil.Stat. Which is weird since if
ioutil.Stat was undefined the compiler should also have raised error
package io/ioutil declared and not used. I tried all sorts of
combination described in package like using a alias or just a dot(.)
but none seemed to work.
I want to know why ?

regards,
Soham

The error is the Stat function belongs to the os package, not the
ioutil package.
