What is an alternative command to stat?
You have answered im_new's precise usage of stat - finding the size of a file - but have not answered the general question: What is the alternative command to stat?
I would love to get the extra information from the stat() call without having to write any C code
In particular, I'm using HPUX 11. There is no stat command available and I would love to see the modification times of files to the second
This is so I can work out the precise order of events when 2 processes may be affecting the same file at different, but close, times. I have a log file of what one script is doing, but have nothing from the second. However, the second process copies the file to is current location as it's final act and I need to know whether this was just before or just after the first script wrote to the file.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
