stat - display file or file system status
stat [OPTION]... FILE...
Display file or file system status.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
-L, --dereference
follow links
-f, --file-system
display file system status instead of file status
-c --format=FORMAT
use the specified FORMAT instead of the default; output a

output a mandatory trailing newline; if you want a newline,
include \n in FORMAT
-t, --terse
print the information in terse form
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
