Agree with the sentiment, but changing the output of dd after all this
time is probably a shooting offense.
A 'stat' program would be handy, where perl was not readily available.
Here's a prototype:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct stat buf;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s FILE\n", argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (stat(argv[1], &buf))
perror("stat");
printf("%u %lu %u %u %u %u %u %lu %lu %lu %ld %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
buf.st_dev, buf.st_ino, buf.st_mode, buf.st_nlink, buf.st_uid,
buf.st_gid, buf.st_rdev, buf.st_size, buf.st_blksize,
buf.st_blocks, buf.st_atime, buf.st_mtime, buf.st_ctime);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
Regards,
Mark.
