Description
On macOS I have a symlink (Alias) and fman reports file size of -1 bytes. Finder displays 44 bytes. Not a major issue, but I'm not used to negative file sizes.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the report on macOS with a symlink, then trace where fman obtains and displays its size. Done means the symlink is shown with a non-negative size consistent with the expected 44 bytes.
