STAT(1)                          User Commands                         STAT(1)
NAME
       stat - display file or file system status
SYNOPSIS
       stat [OPTION]... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
       Display file or file system status.
       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.
       -L, --dereference
              follow links
       -f, --file-system
              display file system status instead of file status
       --cached=MODE
              specify how to use cached attributes; useful on remote file sys-
              tems. See MODE below
       -c  --format=FORMAT
              use  the  specified FORMAT instead of the default; output a new-
              line after each use of FORMAT
       --printf=FORMAT
              like --format, but interpret backslash escapes, and do not  out-
              put a mandatory trailing newline; if you want a newline, include
              \n in FORMAT
       -t, --terse
              print the information in terse form
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       The --cached MODE argument can be; always, never, or default.  `always`
       will use cached attributes if available, while `never` will try to syn-
       chronize with the latest attributes, and `default` will leave it up  to
       the underlying file system.
       The valid format sequences for files (without --file-system):
       %a     access rights in octal (note '#' and '0' printf flags)
       %A     access rights in human readable form
       %b     number of blocks allocated (see %B)
       %B     the size in bytes of each block reported by %b
       %C     SELinux security context string
       %d     device number in decimal
       %D     device number in hex
       %f     raw mode in hex
       %F     file type
       %g     group ID of owner
       %G     group name of owner
       %h     number of hard links
       %i     inode number
       %m     mount point
       %n     file name
       %N     quoted file name with dereference if symbolic link
       %o     optimal I/O transfer size hint
       %s     total size, in bytes
       %t     major  device  type  in  hex, for character/block device special
              files
       %T     minor device type in hex,  for  character/block  device  special
              files
       %u     user ID of owner
       %U     user name of owner
       %w     time of file birth, human-readable; - if unknown
       %W     time of file birth, seconds since Epoch; 0 if unknown
       %x     time of last access, human-readable
       %X     time of last access, seconds since Epoch
       %y     time of last data modification, human-readable
       %Y     time of last data modification, seconds since Epoch
       %z     time of last status change, human-readable
       %Z     time of last status change, seconds since Epoch
       Valid format sequences for file systems:
       %a     free blocks available to non-superuser
       %b     total data blocks in file system
       %c     total file nodes in file system
       %d     free file nodes in file system
       %f     free blocks in file system
       %i     file system ID in hex
       %l     maximum length of filenames
       %n     file name
       %s     block size (for faster transfers)
       %S     fundamental block size (for block counts)
       %t     file system type in hex
       %T     file system type in human readable form
   --terse is equivalent to the following FORMAT:
              %n %s %b %f %u %g %D %i %h %t %T %X %Y %Z %W %o %C
   --terse --file-system is equivalent to the following FORMAT:
              %n %i %l %t %s %S %b %f %a %c %d
       NOTE: your shell may have its own version of stat, which usually super-
       sedes the version described here.  Please refer to your  shell's  docu-
       mentation for details about the options it supports.
