Once that's done, if you have suggestions for improvements I'm sure that they would be interested. I'll be happy to work with you on adding useful bits to it in our tree as well. You can see what I'm importing at http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/basesrc/usr.bin/stat/ My reasons for choosing to import this version are the obvious benefits of working closely with the NetBSD folks, as well as the fact that it has a large number of features, compiles cleanly on our system (even with WARNS=2), etc. Doug -- "We have known freedom's price.

stat(1) (was Re: mergemaster(8) broken -- uses Perl
> the trick nicely (but is too ``complicated'', and I'd still like > having a tool that allows userland to call stat/fstat(2): You are not alone; a number of stat(1) commands seemed to have popped up over the years. My friend @ SGI told me IRIX also has such a command. I liked its options so I modified mine to match its options as well as kept the option to specify output format. New options: -a atime -c ctime -d dev -g group -i inode -k kind (dir/file/fifo/symlnk/char/block/socket/whiteout) -l links -m mtime -p permissions -r rdev -s size -t all three times -u user -q quite (print numeric values, no syntactic sugar) -f fstat on file descr. For BSD stuff I added -F flags -G generation -b blocks -B blocksize Also, -L use lstat instead of stat -n print name -% user specified format specification as shown in my previous email, except use %k for kind and %t for printing all three times. By default it prints all the stat fields instead of mimicing "ls -lTd" as before. You can specify STATFMT env. var for a default format. Example: $ stat -p stat rwxr-xr-x $ stat -p -q stat 755 Not having used SGI's stat command I don't know what output format it uses. Paul Herman asks in a separate email if there is a happy medium. I don't think so. One can use ls(1) for a more human readable format. stat(1) is really for script use. Even the -% format is for that (to avoid having to pull out the ginsu knife of awk/sed/perl for common uses). About the best I can do in 300 or so lines of code and that is already a lot of lines for something like this. -- bakul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
