docstr: Get information about a path other than its file/directory status.
  
  In the cloud, determining if a given path is a file, a directory, or both is expensive. This
  method simply returns file metadata if there is a file at this path. If there is no file at
  this path, this operation will fail. The presence or absence of a directory at this path
  does not affect the behaviors of this method.
