  NAME              stat - get file status

  SYNOPSIS          stat name

  DESCRIPTION       stat gives several kinds of  information  about
  one file:
                    files:

                       access mode
                       number of links
                       owner
                       size in words
                       name

                    All  information is self-explanatory except the
  mode. The
                    mode is a five-character string  whose  charac-
  ters mean the
                    following:

                       1    s:  file  is  small  (smaller than 4096
  words)
                           l: file is large
                           d:    file is a directory

                       2   r: owner can read
                           -: owner cannot read

                       3   w: owner can write
                           -: owner cannot write

                       4   r: non-owner can read
                           -: non-owner cannot read

                       5   w: non-owner can write
                           -: non-owner cannot write

                    All numeric values are printed in octal
                    if he cannot be found in "/etc/uids"  a  number
  is given.

  FILES

  tion as stat,                   except that it also shows the  i-
  node number for each file.

  name is given.
