stat
stat - Enhanced File & File System Status
The stat module provides detailed metadata for files and file systems, including permissions, ownership, sizes, and timestamps, with the ability to export this data in structured formats.
When to Activate
- When the user needs detailed file attributes (permissions, inode, last modified).
- When checking file system usage and limits (e.g., total space, free inodes).
- When exporting file metadata to JSON, CSV, or TSV for automated analysis.
- When browsing file details using an interactive TUI.
Core Principles & Rules
- Precision: Provides detailed, technical metadata beyond standard
lsoutput. - Export Formats: Prioritize
--jsonor--csvfor data processing tasks. - File System Support: Use the
-fflag to target entire file systems instead of individual files.
