I know linux has a stat(1) command, but I usually end up hacking something 
together with C. It's not rocket science.

struct stat st;
stat(filename, &st);

and then pick out of the stat struct what information you like. It's all 
documented in the man page.

I believe the general consensus was on the current list that it was too 
trivial to implement yourself, and so it was dropped, although some 
discussion did arise about having a stat(1) for use in shell scripts included 
in the base system. Dunno where that discussion went.
