           -f, --file-system
                  display file system status instead of file status
    
           -c  --format=FORMAT
                  use the specified FORMAT instead of the default; output  a  new‐
                  line after each use of FORMAT
    
           --printf=FORMAT
                  like  --format, but interpret backslash escapes, and do not out‐
                  put a mandatory trailing newline; if you want a newline, include

                  print the information in terse form

           %A     access rights in human readable form
    
           %b     number of blocks allocated (see %B)
    
           %B     the size in bytes of each block reported by %b
    
           %C     SELinux security context string
    
           %d     device number in decimal

           %N     quoted file name with dereference if symbolic link
    
           %o     optimal I/O transfer size hint
    
           %s     total size, in bytes
    
           %t     major  device  type  in  hex, for character/block device special

           %T     minor device type in hex,  for  character/block  device  special
                  files
    
           %u     user ID of owner
    
           %U     user name of owner
    
           %w     time of file birth, human-readable; - if unknown
    
           %W     time of file birth, seconds since Epoch; 0 if unknown

           NOTE: your shell may have its own version of stat, which usually super‐
           sedes the version described here.  Please refer to your  shell's  docu‐
           mentation for details about the options it supports.
