stat − display file or filesystem status
stat [-l] [-f] [-v] [-t] file-name [file-name]...
This command displays information about the specified file(s). You do not need any access rights to the file to get this information but you need search rights to all directories named in the path leading to the file.
stat stats the file pointed to by file-name
stat -l is identical to stat, only that for links information about the files that are obtained by tracing the links is displayed.
stat -f does not stat the file itself but instead stats the filesystem where file-name is located.
stat -v prints version information.
stat -t prints the information in terse form, suitable for parsing by other programs
stat and stat -l both display the following information:
Device number
Inode number
Access rights
Number of hard links
User ID (and name if available) of owner
Group ID (and name if available) of owner
Device type (if inode device)
Total size, in bytes
Number of blocks allocated
IO block size
Time of last access
Time of last modification
Time of last change
If -f is specified the following information is displayed:
Filesystem type
Block size of the filesystem
Total blocks in the filesystem
Free blocks
Free blocks for non-root user(s)
Total inodes
Free inodes
Maximum length of filenames
None known so far.
