The GNU coreutils stat command is a nice addition to the Unix
toolbox. However, it seems to have a small deficiency on some
systems.
Compare this output from Red Hat Advanced Server GNU/Linux:
% ls -l --full-time /bin/true
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19960 2001-07-23 10:53:42.000000000 -0600
/bin/true
% stat /bin/true
File: `/bin/true'
Size: 19960 Blocks: 40 IO Block: 16384 regular file
Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 1259185 Links: 1
Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access: 2004-01-28 14:44:08.000000000 -0700
Modify: 2001-07-23 10:53:42.000000000 -0600
Change: 2004-01-21 11:36:07.000000000 -0700
with this output on SGI IRIX 6.5:
% ls -l --full-time /bin/true
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 312 1999-11-04 12:07:38.887783200 -0700 /bin/true
% stat /bin/true
File: `/bin/true'
Size: 312 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 65536 regular file
Device: eeh/238d Inode: 380 Links: 1
Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ sys)
Access: 2003-12-09 09:02:56.000000000 -0700
Modify: 1999-11-04 12:07:38.000000000 -0700
Change: 1999-11-04 12:07:38.000000000 -0700
and with the native SGI stat command:
% /sbin/stat /bin/true
/bin/true:
inode 380; dev 238; links 1; size 312
regular; mode is rwxr-xr-x; uid 0 (root); gid 0 (sys)
projid 0 st_fstype: xfs
change time - Thu Nov 4 12:07:38 1999 <941742458>
access time - Tue Dec 9 09:02:56 2003 <1070985776>
modify time - Thu Nov 4 12:07:38 1999 <941742458>
I suspect that the omission of the nanoseconds values in the
timestamps reported by GNU stat is simply an oversight that can be
easily rectified, and should be.
