- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- Stat is used to print out attributes of files.
- Its output is self-explainitory
- and is a super-set of the output from the \fBls -l\fP command,
- which can also be obtained with the \fB-s\fP option.
- The extra attributes presented are the internal version number
- of the file that is incremented each time the file is re-written,
- the user-defined file type,
- the creation date,
- the file server ID,
- the file domain (disk),
- and the file number.
- For devices this also prints out the device serverID, type, and unit.
- A device serverID of -1 indicates that it is a common device
- found on all hosts. Opening a common device attaches you to
- the instance of the device connected to the current host.
- .SH BUGS
- .PP
- User IDs and hostIDs are given in numerical form,
- not nice string names.
- .SH SEE ALSO
