stat

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

If it's in /usr/local/bin, then it's most likely NOT from Apple. That
having said, yes, there's a GNU version of stat. It's part of the coreutils
and thus should have a good chance of being available close to
everywhere. I also have it on my Solaris boxes (there it's called gstat).

For the record, on Linux, it'll produce output like this:

--($ ~)-- LC_MESSAGES=C stat Remotedesktop_Settings
  File: `Remotedesktop_Settings' ->
`/home/askwar/ALT-BEHALTEN/Remotedesktop_Settings'
  Size: 48            Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   symbolic link
Device: fe02h/65026d    Inode: 81050       Links: 1
