Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8761:
-------------------------------------
I think the correct behavior should be to match the usage. The unix stat uses
%b for blocks, and %s for size in bytes.
> Help for FsShell's Stat incorrectly mentions "file size in blocks" (should be
> bytes)

> Trivial patch attached corrects the usage information. Stat.java calls
> FileStatus.getLen(), which is most definitely the file size in bytes.
