stat − print inode contents
stat filename [filenames ... ]
Stat prints out the contents of an inode as they appear to stat(2) in a human-readable format.
Here is a
sample output from stat:
File: “/”
Size: 1024 Allocated Blocks: 2 Filetype: Directory
Mode: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ system)
Device: 0,0 Inode: 2 Links: 20
Access: Wed Jan 8 12:40:16 1986(00000.00:00:01)
Modify: Wed Dec 18 09:32:09 1985(00021.03:08:08)
Change: Wed Dec 18 09:32:09 1985(00021.03:08:08)
“Can’t stat file” or “Can’t lstat file” usually means that it doesn’t exist. “Can’t readlink file” implies something is amiss with a symbolic link.
stat(2), ls(1)

The output is not entirely comprehensible.
