STAT(1) FSF STAT(1)NAME
stat - display file or filesystem status
SYNOPSIS
stat [OPTION] FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Display file or filesystem status.
-f, --filesystem
display filesystem status instead of file status
-c--format=FORMAT use the specified FORMAT instead of the default
-L, --dereference
follow links
-t, --terse
print the information in terse form
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The valid format sequences for files (without --filesystem):
%A - Access rights in human readable form %a - Access rights in octal %b - Number of blocks allocated %D - Device number in hex %d -
Device number in decimal %F - File type %f - raw mode in hex %G - Group name of owner %g - Group ID of owner %h - Number of hard
links %i - Inode number %N - Quoted File name with dereference if symbolic link %n - File name %o - IO block size %s - Total size,
in bytes %T - Minor device type in hex %t - Major device type in hex %U - User name of owner %u - User ID of owner %X - Time of last
access as seconds since Epoch %x - Time of last access %Y - Time of last modification as seconds since Epoch %y - Time of last modi-
fication %Z - Time of last change as seconds since Epoch %z - Time of last change
Valid format sequences for file systems:
%a - Free blocks available to non-superuser %b - Total data blocks in file system %c - Total file nodes in file system %d - Free
file nodes in file system %f - Free blocks in file system %i - File System id in hex %l - Maximum length of filenames %n - File name
%s - Optimal transfer block size %T - Type in human readable form %t - Type in hex

DU(1) FSF DU(1)NAME
du - estimate file space usage
SYNOPSIS
du [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Summarize disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --all
write counts for all files, not just directories
-B, --block-size=SIZE use SIZE-byte blocks
-b, --bytes
print size in bytes
-c, --total
produce a grand total
-D, --dereference-args
dereference FILEs that are symbolic links
-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
-H, --si
likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
-k like --block-size=1K
-l, --count-links
count sizes many times if hard linked
-L, --dereference
dereference all symbolic links
-S, --separate-dirs
do not include size of subdirectories
-s, --summarize
display only a total for each argument
-x, --one-file-system
skip directories on different filesystems
-X FILE, --exclude-from=FILE
Exclude files that match any pattern in FILE.
--exclude=PATTERN Exclude files that match PATTERN.
--max-depth=N
print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it is N or fewer levels below the command line argument;
--max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1,000,000, M 1,048,576, and so on for G, T,
P, E, Z, Y.
PATTERNS
PATTERN is a shell pattern (not a regular expression). The pattern ? matches any one character, whereas * matches any string (composed of
zero, one or multiple characters). For example, *.o will match any files whose names end in .o. Therefore, the command
du --exclude='*.o'
will skip all files and subdirectories ending in .o (including the file .o itself).
