stat

Display file status. More information: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/stat.1.html.

  • Show file properties such as size, permissions, creation and access dates among others:

stat path/to/file

  • Same as above but verbose (more similar to Linux's stat):

stat -x path/to/file

  • Show only octal file permissions:

stat -f %Mp%Lp path/to/file

  • Show owner and group of the file:

stat -f "%Su %Sg" path/to/file

  • Show the size of the file in bytes:

stat -f "%z %N" path/to/file
