Question

I am running the following command on cygwin

$ find . -printf "%p %m %s \n" | sort -n

and the output is below…

./.metadata/.log 700 17247
./.metadata/.mylyn 700 0
./.metadata/.mylyn/repositories.xml.zip 700 423
./.metadata/.mylyn/tasks.xml.zip 700 250
./.metadata/.plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.core/appengine-sdk-proxy.jar 700 8782

(required out format is filename/permission in octal/size in bytes)

I would like to know how to create a similar output on Solaris. (the above command does not work on solaris)

You can use Perl to glean the same info as find’s -printf:

find . -print | perl -lne '$,=" "; @s=stat $_; print $_, $s[2], $s[7]'
