NAME            istat  --  get inode status



SYNOPSIS        istat inumber  ...
                             1


DESCRIPTION     istat gives information about one or more i-nodes

                on the given file system /dev/rk0.



                The information is basically in the same for as

                that for stat(I), All information is self-

                explanatory except the mode.  The mode is a

                seven-character string whose characters mean the

                following:



                   1 a: i-node is allocated

                     u: i-node is free (no file)

                   2 s: file is small (smaller than 4096 bytes)

                     l: file is large



                   3 d: file is a directory

                     x: file is executable

                     u: set user ID on execution

                     -: none of the above



                   4 r: owner can read

                     -: owner cannot read



                   5 w: owner can write

                     -: owner cannot write



                   6 r: non-owner can read

                     -: non-owner cannot read



                   7 w: non-owner can write

                     -: non-owner cannot write



                The owner is almost always given in symbolic

                form;  however if he cannot be found in

                "/etc/uids" a number is given.



                If the number of arguments to stat is not exactly

                1 a header is generated identifying the fields of

                the status information.
