Print File Information
======================

 - Action: -ls
     True; list the current file in `ls -dils' format on the standard
     output.  The output looks like this:

          204744   17 -rw-r--r--   1 djm      staff       17337 Nov  2  1992 ./lwall-quotes

     The fields are:

       1. The inode number of the file.  Note: Hard Links, for how to
          find files based on their inode number.

       2. the number of blocks in the file.  The block counts are of 1K
          blocks, unless the environment variable `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is
          set, in which case 512-byte blocks are used.  Note: Size,
          for how to find files based on their size.

       3. The file's type and permissions.  The type is shown as a dash
          for a regular file; for other file types, a letter like for
          `-type' is used (Note: Type).  The permissions are read,
          write, and execute for the file's owner, its group, and other
          users, respectively; a dash means the permission is not
          granted.  Note: File Permissions, for more details about
          file permissions.  Note: Permissions, for how to find files
          based on their permissions.

       4. The number of hard links to the file.

       5. The user who owns the file.

       6. The file's group.

       7. The file's size in bytes.

       8. The date the file was last modified.

       9. The file's name.  `-ls' quotes non-printable characters in
          the file names using C-like backslash escapes.

 - Action: -fls file
     True; like `-ls' but write to FILE like `-fprint' (Note: Print
     File Name).

 - Action: -printf format
     True; print FORMAT on the standard output, interpreting `\'
     escapes and `%' directives.  Field widths and precisions can be
     specified as with the `printf' C function.  Unlike `-print',
     `-printf' does not add a newline at the end of the string.

 - Action: -fprintf file format
     True; like `-printf' but write to FILE like `-fprint' (Note: Print
     File Name).
