Using the Linux stat command to create flexible file listings
The stat command supplies a lot of detailed information on files.It provides not just the date/time of the most recent file changes, but also shows when files were most recently accessed and permissions changed. It tells you the file size in both bytes and blocks. It displays the inode being used by the file along with the file type. It includes the file owner and the associated user group both by name and UID/GID. It displays file permissions in both the “rwx” (referred to as the “human-readable” format) and numerically. On some systems, it might even include the date and time that a file was created (called its “birth”).[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.] In addition to providing all this information, the stat command can also be used to create file listings.
