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.
