No need for a space after this field.

This will overflow 80 columns.  Could use just "character special"?

Having these all as single-word items would make it easier to parse for
test programs.  Same with "IO Block:" -> "Blocksize:".  Not a huge deal.

Actual bug here - this should be checking STATX_NLINK.

I don't think this is correct either.  It should be:

        if (stx->stx_mask & STATX_MODE) {
                switch (stx->stx_mode & S_IFMT) {

or you could just move this into the block above that is already printing
the device type since it is already doing the same checks.

This is duplicating the "Access:" label below for atime.  Maybe
label this "Mode:" or "Permission:"?

stx_blksize is printed twice in the test-statx output, once here and once
above with "Size" and "Blocks".
