fstat

fstat is useful when you need to obtain file names, sizes, and timestamps across multiple directories. You can also sort the output by timestamp, file size, and file name (both case-sensitive and case-insensitive).

The Releases Page contains binaries for Windows, MacOS, Linux and FreeBSD.

Homebrew (MacOS / Linux):

brew tap jftuga/homebrew-tap; brew update; brew install jftuga/tap/fstat

For the TYPE column (see examples below):

F represents regular file
D represents directory
L represents symbolic link

Usage

fstat: Get info for a list of files across multiple directories
usage: fstat [options] [filename|or blank for STDIN]
       (this file should contain a list of files to process)

  -M	add milliseconds to file time stamps
  -c	add comma thousands separator to file sizes
  -dn string
    	only include if date is equal or newer than given YYYYMMDD date
  -do string
    	only include if date is equal or older than given YYYYMMDD date
  -ed
    	exclude-dot, exclude all dot files and directories
  -er string
    	exclude-regexp, exclude based on given regular expression; use .* instead of just *
  -f string
    	use these files instead of from a file or STDIN, can include wildcards
  -id
    	include only directories
  -if
    	include only files
  -il
    	include only symbolic links
  -ir string
    	include-regexp, only include based on given regular expression; use .* instead of just *
  -long
    	Don't use ellipses for long file names; useful when piping or using redirection
  -longwidth int
    	Set max width; Useful when piping or using redirection
  -m	convert file sizes to mebibytes
  -oc
    	output to CSV format
  -oh
    	output to HTML format
  -oj
    	output to JSON format
  -q	do not display file errors
  -sD
    	sort by file modified date, newest first
  -sI
    	sort by file name, ignore case, reverse alphabetical order
  -sN
    	sort by file name, reverse alphabetical order
  -sS
    	sort by file size, descending
  -sd
    	sort by file modified date
  -si
    	sort by file name, ignore case
  -sn
    	sort by file name
  -ss
    	sort by file size
  -szl int
    	only include if file size is equal or larger than given value (in bytes)
  -szs int
    	only include if file size is equal or smaller than given value (in bytes)
  -t	append total file size and file count
  -v	show program version and then exit

Notes:
  (1) -er precedes -ir
  (2) Use '(?i)' at the beginning of a regex to make it case insensitive
