inode/file information

[William Pribble]

Does HP-UX have an equivalent command to the linux command "stat". I want to see the inode statistics of a file. If not does any one have a quick and dirty C program using stat() function that they can give me.

thanks everyone

I came across a version a while back. Don't remember where. I have attached a "shar" save of the executable.

Here is a very simple perl script which will display all the inode fields. You can modify to display any or all of the values listed.

Usage: stat.pl myfile1 myfile2 ....

Here's a command that should generate the list:

find / -print | xargs -i ls -il {}

This will find every file on your system, and print out the inode number and associated information.

You can then redirect the output to a file, or to a sequence of cut commands using awk, or something to get what you need.

I tried it and it works fine, but it's a LONG list!!!

Oops!!!!

For one file:

ls -il filename

Much simpler!
