	#[stable(feature = "metadata_ext", since = "1.1.0")]
	#[rustc_deprecated(since = "1.8.0",
	reason = "deprecated in favor of the accessor \
	methods of this trait")]
	#[allow(deprecated)]
	fn as_raw_stat(&self) -> &raw::stat;

as_raw_stat returned the stat struct containing all the information.
Now you should access them via the methods provided by the trait, e.g. st_dev, st_ino, st_mode etc.

Thanks for explanation. But I think the deprecated message is misleading.

PRs to change the wording would likely be accepted, but nothing better comes to mind right now. It seems pretty straightforward to me what the deprecation means.
