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

   -c  --format=FORMAT
          use the specified  FORMAT  instead  of  the  default;  output  a
          newline after each use of FORMAT

   --printf=FORMAT
          like  --format,  but  interpret  backslash  escapes,  and do not
          output 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 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

   NOTE:  your  shell  may  have  its  own  version of stat, which usually
   supersedes the version described here.  Please refer  to  your  shell's
   documentation for details about the options it supports.
