filesize(1)                                                        filesize(1)




NAME

       filesize - print the file size of the specified files


SYNOPSIS

       filesize  [-f  file_list]  [-h(elp)] [-p(ipe)] [-q(uiet)] [-t(otalize)]
       [-v(erbose)] [file...]


DESCRIPTION

       filesize prints out the file size of the specified files in bytes.


OPTIONS

       -h     Print help and quit.

       -f filelist
              Read the names of files to be processed from the specified file.

       -p     Read the names of files to be processed from stdin.

       -q     Quiet output.  Do not print the filename with program output.

       -t     Totalize the sum of all file sizes.  This supercedes both the -c
              and -q options.

       -v     Verbose output.  Print the filename with program output.


NOTES

       The program defaults to quiet for a single file and verbose for  multi-
       ple files.  The -f and -p options can be used simultaneously with file-
       names specified on the command-line.

       Note that this program operates very similarly to stat  -c  '%s'.    If
       you  are  trying to write highly portable shell scripts, you might con-
       sider using stat instead.
