STAT 1 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm stat , +.Nm readlink +.Nd display file status +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.Nm +.Op Fl FLnq +.Op Fl f Ar format | Fl l | r | s | x +.Op Fl t Ar timefmt +.Op Ar +.Nm readlink +.Op Fl fn +.Op Ar +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +utility displays information about the file pointed to by +.Ar file . +Read, write, or execute permissions of the named file are not required, but +all directories listed in the pathname leading to the file must be +searchable. +If no argument is given, +.Nm +displays information about the file descriptor for standard input. +.Pp +When invoked as +.Nm readlink , +only the target of the symbolic link is printed. +If the given argument is not a symbolic link and the +.Fl f +option is not specified, +.Nm readlink +will print nothing and exit with an error. +If the +.Fl f +option is specified, the output is canonicalized by following every symlink +in every component of the given path recursively. +.Nm readlink +will resolve both absolute and relative paths, and return the absolute pathname +corresponding to +.Ar file . +In this case, the argument does not need to be a symbolic link. +.Pp +The information displayed is obtained by calling +.Xr lstat 2 +with the given argument and evaluating the returned structure. +The default format displays the +.Fa st_dev , +.Fa st_ino , +.Fa st_mode , +.Fa st_nlink , +.Fa st_uid , +.Fa st_gid , +.Fa st_rdev , +.Fa st_size , +.Fa st_atime , +.Fa st_mtime , +.Fa st_ctime , +.Fa st_birthtime , +.Fa st_blksize , +.Fa st_blocks , +and +.Fa st_flags +fields, in that order. +.Pp +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl F +As in +.Xr ls 1 , +display a slash +.Pq Ql / +immediately after each pathname that is a directory, +an asterisk +.Pq Ql * +after each that is executable, +an at sign +.Pq Ql @ +after each symbolic link, +a percent sign +.Pq Ql % +after each whiteout, +an equal sign +.Pq Ql = +after each socket, +and a vertical bar +.Pq Ql | +after each that is a FIFO. +The use of +.Fl F +implies +.Fl l . +.It Fl L +Use +.Xr stat 2 +instead of +.Xr lstat 2 . +The information reported by +.Nm +will refer to the target of +.Ar file , +if file is a symbolic link, and not to +.Ar file +itself. +If the link is broken or the target does not exist, +fall back on +.Xr lstat 2 +and report information about the link. +.It Fl l +Display output in +.Ic ls Fl lT +format. +.It Fl n +Do not force a newline to appear at the end of each piece of output. +.It Fl q +Suppress failure messages if calls to +.Xr stat 2 +or +.Xr lstat 2 +fail. +When run as +.Nm readlink , +error messages are automatically suppressed. +.It Fl f Ar format +Display information using the specified format. +See the +.Sx Formats +section for a description of valid formats. +.It Fl l +Display output in +.Nm ls Fl lT +format. +.It Fl r +Display raw information. +That is, for all the fields in the +.Vt stat +structure, +display the raw, numerical value (for example, times in seconds since the +epoch, etc.). +.It Fl s +Display information in +.Dq shell output +format, +suitable for initializing variables. +.It Fl x +Display information in a more verbose way as known from some +.Tn Linux +distributions. +.It Fl t Ar timefmt +Display timestamps using the specified format. +This format is +passed directly to +.Xr strftime 3 . +.El +.Ss Formats +Format strings are similar to +.Xr printf 3 +formats in that they start with +.Cm % , +are then followed by a sequence of formatting characters, and end in +a character that selects the field of the +.Vt "struct stat" +which is to be formatted. +If the +.Cm % +is immediately followed by one of +.Cm n , t , % , +or +.Cm @ , +then a newline character, a tab character, a percent character, +or the current file number is printed, otherwise the string is +examined for the following: +.Pp +Any of the following optional flags: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Cm # +Selects an alternate output form for octal and hexadecimal output. +Non-zero octal output will have a leading zero, and non-zero +hexadecimal output will have +.Dq Li 0x +prepended to it. +.It Cm + +Asserts that a sign indicating whether a number is positive or negative +should always be printed. +Non-negative numbers are not usually printed +with a sign. +.It Cm - +Aligns string output to the left of the field, instead of to the right. +.It Cm 0 +Sets the fill character for left padding to the +.Ql 0 +character, instead of a space. +.It space +Reserves a space at the front of non-negative signed output fields. +A +.Sq Cm + +overrides a space if both are used. +.El +.Pp +Then the following fields: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Ar size +An optional decimal digit string specifying the minimum field width. +.It Ar prec +An optional precision composed of a decimal point +.Sq Cm \&. +and a decimal digit string that indicates the maximum string length, +the number of digits to appear after the decimal point in floating point +output, or the minimum number of digits to appear in numeric output. +.It Ar fmt +An optional output format specifier which is one of +.Cm D , O , U , X , F , +or +.Cm S . +These represent signed decimal output, octal output, unsigned decimal +output, hexadecimal output, floating point output, and string output, +respectively. +Some output formats do not apply to all fields. +Floating point output only applies to +.Vt timespec +fields (the +.Cm a , m , +and +.Cm c +fields). +.Pp +The special output specifier +.Cm S +may be used to indicate that the output, if +applicable, should be in string format. +May be used in combination with: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Cm amc +Display date in +.Xr strftime 3 +format. +.It Cm dr +Display actual device name. +.It Cm f +Display the flags of +.Ar file +as in +.Nm ls Fl lTdo . +.It Cm gu +Display group or user name. +.It Cm p +Display the mode of +.Ar file +as in +.Nm ls Fl lTd . +.It Cm N +Displays the name of +.Ar file . +.It Cm T +Displays the type of +.Ar file . +.It Cm Y +Insert a +.Dq Li " -\*[Gt] " +into the output. +Note that the default output format +for +.Cm Y +is a string, but if specified explicitly, these four characters are +prepended. +.El +.It Ar sub +An optional sub field specifier (high, middle, low). +Only applies to +the +.Cm p , d , r , +and +.Cm T +output formats. +It can be one of the following: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Cm H +.Dq High +\[em] +specifies the major number for devices from +.Cm r +or +.Cm d , +the +.Dq user +bits for permissions from the string form of +.Cm p , +the file +.Dq type +bits from the numeric forms of +.Cm p , +and the long output form of +.Cm T . +.It Cm L +.Dq Low +\[em] +specifies the minor number for devices from +.Cm r +or +.Cm d , +the +.Dq other +bits for permissions from the string form of +.Cm p , +the +.Dq user , +.Dq group , +and +.Dq other +bits from the numeric forms of +.Cm p , +and the +.Nm ls Fl F +style output character for file type when used with +.Cm T +(the use of +.Cm L +for this is optional). +.It Cm M +.Dq Middle +\[em] +specifies the +.Dq group +bits for permissions from the +string output form of +.Cm p , +or the +.Dq suid , +.Dq sgid , +and +.Dq sticky +bits for the numeric forms of +.Cm p . +.El +.It Ar datum +A required field specifier, being one of the following: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Cm d +Device upon which +.Ar file +resides +.Pq Fa st_dev . +.It Cm i +.Ar file Ns 's +inode number +.Pq Fa st_ino . +.It Cm p +File type and permissions +.Pq Fa st_mode . +.It Cm l +Number of hard links to +.Ar file +.Pq Fa st_nlink . +.It Cm u , g +User ID and group ID of +.Ar file Ns 's +owner +.Pq Fa st_uid , st_gid . +.It Cm r +Device number for character and block device special files +.Pq Fa st_rdev . +.It Cm a , m , c , B +The time +.Ar file +was last accessed or modified, or when the inode was last changed, or +the birth time of the inode +.Pq Fa st_atime , st_mtime , st_ctime , st_birthtime . +.It Cm z +The size of +.Ar file +in bytes +.Pq Fa st_size . +.It Cm b +Number of blocks allocated for +.Ar file +.Pq Fa st_blocks . +.It Cm k +Optimal file system I/O operation block size +.Pq Fa st_blksize . +.It Cm f +User defined flags for +.Ar file . +.It Cm v +Inode generation number +.Pq Fa st_gen . +.El +.Pp +The following five field specifiers are not drawn directly from the +data in +.Vt "struct stat" , +but are: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Cm N +The name of the file. +.It Cm R +The absolute pathname corresponding to the file. +.It Cm T +The file type, either as in +.Nm ls Fl F +or in a more descriptive form if the +.Ar sub +field specifier +.Cm H +is given. +.It Cm Y +The target of a symbolic link. +.It Cm Z +Expands to +.Dq major,minor +from the +.Va rdev +field for character or block +special devices and gives size output for all others. +.El +.El +.Pp +Only the +.Cm % +and the field specifier are required. +Most field specifiers default to +.Cm U +as an output form, with the +exception of +.Cm p +which defaults to +.Cm O ; +.Cm a , m
