statfile programstatfile -options file [command arg ...]
statfile calls stat() on file, sets
the environment variables specified in options according to the
stat information, and runs command. If
file begins with a digit, it is interpreted as a file
descriptor, and passed to fstat(). If command is
not given, statfile exits zero, indicating that the stat() call
was successful. The leading "-" in the options
argument is not required. Options are as follows:
l: call lstat() instead of
stat()
d: set $DEV to the file's device number
i: set $INO to the file's inode number
t: set $TYPE to the file's type: - for regular files
d for directories
l for symlinks
p for fifos
s for sockets
c for character devices
b for block devices
m: set $MODE to the file's
permissions, in octal, e.g.: 01777. Also set each
