You might want to look at the stat utility, possibly with some of its options (see the manual page).
stat dirname will show you, for example
Code:
stat /spares/gnis
File: `/spares/gnis'
Size: 12288 Blocks: 24 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 809h/2057d Inode: 5505025 Links: 2
Access: (0555/dr-xr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access: 2011-08-19 07:56:49.657805813 -0400
Modify: 2007-12-03 17:28:31.000000000 -0500
Change: 2011-03-14 16:55:16.443481961 -0400

On the other hand, if you look at man 2 stat you might be able to roll-your-own utility customized for your needs; here is an example, named status.c, that may be useful:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <grp.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <time.h>
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
time_t now;
struct group *grentry, *getgrgid (gid_t);
struct passwd *pwentry, *getpwuid (uid_t);
struct stat status;
struct tm *tstr, *localtime (const time_t *);
if (argc != 2) {
(void) fprintf (stderr, "usage:\t%s file\n", argv [0]);
return (1);
}
/* get stat structure for specified file */
if (stat (argv [1], &status) == -1) {
(void) fprintf (stderr, "%s:\tcan't stat %s\n",
argv [0], argv [1]);
return (2);
}
/* display the type of file */
if (status.st_mode & S_IFREG)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Regular File:\t");
else if (status.st_mode & S_IFDIR)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Directory:\t");
else if (status.st_mode & S_IFIFO)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "FIFO Special File:\t");
else if (status.st_mode & S_IFCHR)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Character Special File:\t");
else if (status.st_mode & S_IFBLK)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Block Special File:\t");
else if (status.st_mode & S_IFLNK)
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Symbolic Link:\t");
else
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Unknown File:\t");
(void) fprintf (stdout, "%s\n", argv [1]);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Inode:\t\t%d\n", (int) status.st_ino);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Mode:\t\t%d\n", (int) status.st_mode);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Device:\t\t%d\n", (int) status.st_dev);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Blocksize:\t%d\n", (int) status.st_blksize);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Links:\t\t%d\n", (int) status.st_nlink);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Owner (%d):\t", (int) status.st_uid);
/* look up owner in /etc/passwd */
if ((pwentry = getpwuid (status.st_uid)) == (struct passwd *) NULL) {
(void) fprintf (stdout, "not found\n");
} else {
(void) fprintf (stdout, "%s\n", pwentry->pw_name);
}
/* look up group name in /etc/group */
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Group (%d):\t", (int) status.st_gid);
if ((grentry = getgrgid (status.st_gid)) == (struct group *) NULL) {
(void) fprintf (stdout, "no found\n");
} else {
(void) fprintf (stdout, "%s\n", grentry->gr_name);
}
(void) fprintf (stdout, "Size:\t\t%d\n", (int) status.st_size);
now = status.st_atime;
tstr = localtime (&now);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "atime:\t\t%02d:%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%02d\t",
tstr->tm_hour, tstr->tm_min, tstr->tm_sec,
tstr->tm_mon+1, tstr->tm_mday, tstr->tm_year);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "(Last Access)\n");
now = status.st_ctime;
tstr = localtime (&now);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "ctime:\t\t%02d:%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%02d\t",
tstr->tm_hour, tstr->tm_min, tstr->tm_sec,
tstr->tm_mon+1, tstr->tm_mday, tstr->tm_year);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "(Last Data Modification)\n");
now = status.st_mtime;
tstr = localtime (&now);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "mtime:\t\t%02d:%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%02d\t",
tstr->tm_hour, tstr->tm_min, tstr->tm_sec,
tstr->tm_mon+1, tstr->tm_mday, tstr->tm_year);
(void) fprintf (stdout, "(Last File Status Change)\n");
return (0);
}
You could save the above as, say, status.c then enter
to compile it -- execute it with
where name is a file or directory. And, of course, you can modify the above as you see fit.
You might also consider using the df utility on the disk partition you're concerned about; if you see growth in the partition that would probably be an indication that you need to take some action.
Hope this helps some. |
