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.

       -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 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
