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

       --append-exe
	      append .exe if cygwin magic was needed

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       %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     I/O block size

       %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 super‐

       mentation for details about the options it supports.
