_wstat is a wide-character version of _stat; the path
argument to _wstat is a wide-character string. _wstat and
_stat behave identically except that _wstat does not handle
multibyte-character strings.

I don't know that this is universally true, but most of the time when you
see a "w" on the beginning or end of a function it means that it is the wide
character (Unicode) version. If you use _T() and TCHAR() macros in your
code and _t calls to functions they will compiled based on the _UNICODE or
_MBCS macro settings in your compile specifications. In this case _tstat()
would give you _stat if _MBCS defined and _wstat if _UNICODE is defined.

Sorry and thanks I confused

struct _stat;

with

int _wstat(
const wchar_t *path,
struct _stat *buffer
);
