Buffer attributes?

[Doug Lewan]

All,

Is there a general idea of attributes of a buffer in emacs? A common facility, 
like stat(2) for files, would be nice.

Some attributes are mentioned explicitly in the elisp info: name, file name (as 
appropriate), modification time, read-only-ness are mentioned in the chapter on 
buffers. Others are scattered throughout the documentation, default-directory, 
for example.

The attribute I'm most interested in at the moment is the buffer's creation 
time, but I can't find such a thing.
Thanks.
