filesize

NAME

SYNOPSIS

filesize [ -b | -k | -m | -g ] -f file

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

The file size is returned as an integer number of the selected unit option. If the file size is not integer the returned file size is rounded up by one. Therefore if the real file size is 123.01 kBytes, 124 would be returned.

If a more precise file size is needed for units other then Bytes ( -b ) the size has to be queried in Bytes first and then the related calculation has to be done separately:

        filesize -f /data/example.dmp |\
          awk '{printf("%3.2f\n", $1/1024)}'

OPTIONS

-h

print usage message.

-b

return the file size in Bytes, this is also the default if no unit option is specified.

-k

return the file size in kilo bytes (1 kByte = 1024 Byte).

-m

return the file size in mega bytes (1 MByte = 1024 kByte).

-g

return the file size in giga bytes (1 GByte = 1024 MByte).

-f file

path of the file from which the size should be returned.
