Fine for C or Perl, but not for a sh script like debootstrap. I posted some quick-and-dirty C source code for a tiny 'stat' program in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2001/debian-boot-200110/msg00728.html which prints out all the statbuf fields, and might therefore be useful to shell scripts: $ ./stat /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19 770 0 162419 33188 1 0 0 14199 0 457707 4096 904 1003569432 987719796 990575051 Easy to add to busybox, but definitely outside busybox's scope. And no longer needed, now that wc is back. Regards, Mark. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
