Attached is a diff that takes care of that. Basically, the user can
specify a format that looks like "%f\t%U\t%A" to get the files name, the
username of the owner, and the last access time seperated by tabs

documented in the man page. I looked around for another version of stat

Re: Was someone looking for a BSD licensed stat(1)?
Since you've got it in RCS, you shouldn't have any problem adding new
features. How about a selectable display of fields, and ability to put
them in machine-readable (read: no cut required) form? I'd suggest
having a function that would printf "%s: whatever", arg1 for humans
and "whatever" for machines, selectable by something like a -c
"compact output flag." Here's the GPLd stat I have:
{"/usr"}# stat
stat [-cihsv] [-o opts] [-f file] [filename ...]
-h this help
-v verbose output
-c compact output
-i ignore errors
-s stop on error
-f read filenames to be stat-ed from file (- means stdin)
-d dereference symbolic links.
-o opts output options (case insensitive):
a access time
c creation time
d device
g group
i inode
l links
m mode
n file name
o modification time
s size
t type
u owner

Re: Was someone looking for a BSD licensed stat(1)?
According to Keith Stevenson: Sure, I can work on that. It would be helpful if you could include a few sample outputs that I could work from. You may also want to look at the builtin stat(1) function in zsh too. 3.1.5+ only, I don't think 3.1.4 had it. BTW 3.1.6 now pretty close to release. stat [ -gnNlLtTrs ] [ -f fd ] [ -H hash ] [ -A array ] [ -F fmt ] [ +element ] [ file ... ] The command acts as a front end to the stat system call (see stat(2)). If the stat call fails, the appropriate system error message printed and status 1 is returned. The fields of struct stat give information about the files provided as arguments to the command. In addition to those available from the stat call, an extra element `link' is pro- vided. These elements are: device The number of the device on which the file resides. inode The unique number of the file on this device (`inode' number). mode The mode of the file; that is, the file's type and access permissions. With the -s option, this will be returned as a string corresponding to the first column in the display of the ls -l command. nlink The number of hard links to the file. uidThe user ID of the owner of the file. With the -s option, this is displayed as a user name. gidThe group ID of the file. With the -s option, this is displayed as a group name. rdev The raw device number. This is only useful for special devices. size The size of the file in bytes. atime mtime ctime The last access, modification and inode change times of the file, respectively, as the number of seconds since midnight GMT on 1st January, 1970. With the -s option, these are printed as strings for the local time zone; the format can be altered with the -F option, and with the -g option the times are in GMT. blksize The number of bytes in one allocation block on the device on which the file resides. block The number of disk blocks used by the file. link If the file is a link and the -L option is in effect, this contains the name of the file linked to, otherwise it is empty. Note that if this element is selected (``stat +link'') then the -L option is automatically used. A particular element may be selected by including its name preceded by a `+' in the option list; only one element is allowed. The element may be short- ened to any unique set of leading characters. Oth- erwise, all elements will be shown for all files. Options: -A array Instead of displaying the results on stan- dard output, assign them to an array, one struct stat element per array element for each file in order. In this case neither the name of the element nor the name of the files is provided unless the -t or -n options are provided, respectively. In the former case the element name appears as a prefix to the appropriate array element and in the latter case the file name appears as a separate array element preceding all the others. Other formatting options are respected. -H hash Similar to -A, but instead assign the values to hash. The keys are the elements listed above. If the -n option is provided then the name of the file is included in the hash with key name. -f fd Use the file on file descriptor fd instead of named files; no list of file names is allowed in this case. -F fmt Supplies a strftime (see strftime(3)) string for the formatting of the time elements. The -s option is implied. -g Show the time elements in the

You may also want to look at the builtin stat(1) function in zsh too. 3.1.5+ only, I don't think 3.1.4 had it. BTW 3.1.6 now pretty close to release. stat [ -gnNlLtTrs ] [ -f fd ] [ -H hash ] [ -A array ] [ -F fmt ] [ +element ] [ file ... ] The command acts as a front end to the stat system call (see stat(2)). If the stat call fails, the appropriate system error message printed and status 1 is returned. The fields of struct stat give information about the files provided as arguments to the command. In addition to those available from the stat call, an extra element `link' is pro- vided. These elements are: device The number of the device on which the file resides. inode The unique number of the file on this device (`inode' number). mode The mode of the file; that is, the file's type and access permissions. With the -s option, this will be returned as a string corresponding to the first column in the display of the ls -l command. nlink The number of hard links to the file. uidThe user ID of the owner of the file. With the -s option, this is displayed as a user name. gidThe group ID of the file. With the -s option, this is displayed as a group name. rdev The raw device number. This is only useful for special devices. size The size of the file in bytes. atime mtime ctime The last access, modification and inode change times of the file, respectively, as the number of seconds since midnight GMT on 1st January, 1970. With the -s option, these are printed as strings for the local time zone; the format can be altered with the -F option, and with the -g option the times are in GMT. blksize The number of bytes in one allocation block on the device on which the file resides. block The number of disk blocks used by the file. link If the file is a link and the -L option is in effect, this contains the name of the file linked to, otherwise it is empty. Note that if this element is selected (``stat +link'') then the -L option is automatically used. A particular element may be selected by including its name preceded by a `+' in the option list; only one element is allowed. The element may be short- ened to any unique set of leading characters. Oth- erwise, all elements will be shown for all files. Options: -A array Instead of displaying the results on stan- dard output, assign them to an array, one struct stat element per array element for each file in order. In this case neither the name of the element nor the name of the files is provided unless the -t or -n options are provided, respectively. In the former case the element name appears as a prefix to the appropriate array element and in the latter case the file name appears as a separate array element preceding all the others. Other formatting options are respected. -H hash Similar to -A, but instead assign the values to hash. The keys are the elements listed above. If the -n option is provided then the name of the file is included in the hash with key name. -f fd Use the file on file descriptor fd instead of named files; no list of file names is allowed in this case. -F fmt Supplies a strftime (see strftime(3)) string for the formatting of the time elements. The -s option is implied. -g Show the time elements in the GMT
