💖 FSIZE 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the 1plan9 manual, section 1 (that's the "user commands" section, iykyk ✨). today we're talking about two little icon behavior programs: fsize and mtime. they're basically the duo of "tell me stuff about my files" and honestly? we love them for it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fsize, mtime — print file information 👑🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fsize file ...

mtime file ...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

ok so fsize prints the name and size of each of the files. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give it files, it tells you how big they are. iconic. 💖

mtime prints the name and modification time (in seconds since the epoch) of each of the files. so instead of size, you get when the file was last touched — and yes bestie, it's in seconds since the epoch, so it's giving big unix-timestamp energy, no cap. 🦋

🌸 SOURCE 🌸

the source lives right here, so you can go read it yourself if you're feeling main character:

  • /src/cmd/fsize.c
  • /src/cmd/mtime.c

💀 BUGS 💀

ok so here's the tea: the output formats of the two programs are different. 😭 they're siblings but they did NOT coordinate their outfits. just be aware of that before you go piping them into the same script, fr fr.

and that's the whole page bestie!! this was FSIZE(1plan9) — that's the page name up top and the same one down at the bottom as the footer, and it's the 1plan9 manual so you know the vibe 💜. now go print some file info, you ate. 💅✨🎀
