stat

Prints statistics about the file/directory at <path> in the specified format.

Format accepts permissions in octal (%a) and symbolic (%A), filesize in bytes (%b), type (%F), group name of owner (%g), name (%n), block size (%o), replication (%r), username of owner(%u), access date(%x, %X), and modification date (%y, %Y).

The %x and %y show UTC dates as yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, and %X and %Y show milliseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.

If the format isn’t specified, %y is used by default.

Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.

The usage is as follows:

$ hadoop fs -stat [format] <path> ...

Example:

$ hadoop fs -stat "type:%F perm:%a %u:%g size:%b mtime:%y atime:%x name:%n" /file
