NAME
filesize - print the file size of the specified files
SYNOPSIS
filesize [-f file_list] [-h(elp)] [-p(ipe)] [-q(uiet)] [-t(otalize)]
[-v(erbose)] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
filesize prints out the file size of the specified files in bytes.
OPTIONS
-h Print help and quit.
-f filelist
Read the names of files to be processed from the specified file.
-p Read the names of files to be processed from stdin.
-q Quiet output. Do not print the filename with program output.
-t Totalize the sum of all file sizes. This supercedes both the -c
and -q options.
-v Verbose output. Print the filename with program output.
NOTES
The program defaults to quiet for a single file and verbose for multi-
ple files. The -f and -p options can be used simultaneously with file-
names specified on the command-line.
Note that this program operates very similarly to stat -c '%s'. If
you are trying to write highly portable shell scripts, you might con-
sider using stat instead.
