        path - The path of the file to get details of. Follows symlinks to the parent directory of this file.
        Returns:
        Details of the file. Returns details with type FileInfo.Type.Missing for a file that does not exist.
        Throws:
        NativeException - On failure to query the file information.
        FilePermissionException - When the user has insufficient permissions to query the file information
