Abstract                : Syntax
                               stat [-name] [-dev] [-ino] [-mode]  [-nlink]  [-uid]  [-gid]
                               [-size]  [-atime_dec] [-mtime_dec] [-ctime_dec] [-blocks] [-
                               fmt date_format] [-atime] [-mtime] [-ctime]  file...

                          Often in shell scripts it is useful to have some 
                          detail of a file, e.g. size or modification data.
                          stat provides details from the stat system call in
                          a way driven from the command arguments. (Like an assembler form of ls).
                          
                          Also ustat returns file system statistics.
