Script to find file types and info
I'm looking for a way to inventory files on a webserver into a CSV file, and am particularly interested in certain types of files, like .php, .cgi, .pl, .py, .sh, etc. but also want the ability to find all files, including those with no extension, or specified extensions, as above, including files that have spaces or unusual characters or line returns in their names.

I saw the post here:

File Inventory Scan

which had a script that mostly worked and provided good info about the files it found, but couldn't handle files with spaces in their names (last column printed "cannot open: No such file or directory").

Ideally this script would also have columns for file user/group ownership, permissions, access, create and modification times, human readable file size, etc.

I'm on a Solaris 11 machine. I may have the ability to install packages if required.

NAME

       stl_inv - setld inventory file format

DESCRIPTION

       Each  software  product	that  is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated inventory file.  This inventory file is
       created by the kits(1) utility.	The inventory file's name consists of the product's unique 3-letter name with the string .inv for  a  suf-
       fix.   The inventory file contains one record for each subset in the kit.  Each record contains the following twelve fields in order, sepa-
       rated by TAB characters:

       Flags	 The per-file software management flag, a 16-bit unsigned integer

       Size	 The actual number of bytes in the file

       Checksum  The modulo-65536 checksum of the file.  Hard links, directories, FIFOs, and sockets have 00000 in this field.

       uid	 The user ID of the file's owner

       gid	 The group ID of the file's owner

       Mode	 The 6-digit octal representation of the file's mode

       Date	 The file's last modification date

       Revision  The version code of the product that includes the file

       Type	 A letter that describes the file:

       b    Block device

       c    Character device

       d    Directory containing one or more files

       f    Regular file.  For regular files with a link count greater than one, see file type l.

       l    Hard link.	There are other files in the same inventory which have the same inum.	The  first  of	these  files  in  ASCII  collating
	    sequence is listed in the referent field.

       p    Named pipe (FIFO)

       s    Symbolic link

       =    UNIX domain socket

       Pathname  The dot-relative (./) pathname of the file

       Link-to	 For file types l and s, the path to which the file is linked; for types b and c, an integer representing the major and minor num-
		 bers of the device; for all other types, none

       Subset name
		 The name of the subset containing the file

RESTRICTIONS

       Fields must be separated by TAB characters.
