Filestats command options

Options to use with the filestats command

You can use the following options with the filestats command:

• ages
• timetype
• sizes
• style
• expr

About the ages option

The ages option of the filestats command enables you to see when files have been accessed. You can specify file ages in seconds, hours, and days, using a comma to separate each value. By default, file ages are broken down by days, in 30-day increments.

Example of the ages option

For example, to display files with ages under 900 seconds (15 minutes), 4 hours, and seven days, respectively, enter the following command:

filestats ages 900,4H,7D volume vol0 snapshot hourly.1

The output looks like the following:

AGE(ATIME)       CUMULATIVE COUNT       CUMULATIVE TOTAL KB

900              0                      0

4H               0                      0

7D               785                    21568

MAX              882                    146000

About the timetype option

The timetype option enables you to specify the time types that you want to list in the age comparison.

The following table describes the valid timetype values you can use with the timetype option.

About the sizes option

The sizes option enables you to specify the breakdown of sizes, using a comma to separate each value. Default values are in bytes, but you can also use the following three suffixes at the end of a number you specify:

• K (kilobytes)
• M (megabytes)
• G (gigabytes)
• * (a special value you use to list all unique file sizes, one line per unique size. Using this command can result in output of several thousands of lines.)

Example of the sizes option

For example, to display file sizes in four categories--files with less than 500 kilobytes, files with less than 2 megabytes, files with less than 1 gigabyte, and all other files, enter the following command:

filestats sizes 500K,2M,1G volume vol0 snapshot hourly.1

The output looks like the following:

FILE SIZE        CUMULATIVE COUNT       CUMULATIVE TOTAL KB

500K             862                    4969

2M               866                    10748

1G               882                    146000

MAX              882                    146000

About the style option

The style option controls the output style. The three style option arguments are as follows:

• readable. This is the default and is what you see when you use the filestats command with no style option.
• table. Use the table argument when you the filestats output will be used by processing programs.
• html. Use the html argument for output that will be read by a Web browser.

About the expr option

The expr option is an advanced option of the filestats command. The expr option enables you to specify a Boolean expression that the filestats command refers to for each file it encounters.

The following table lists valid file attributes that you can use with the expr option.

Boolean expressions to use with the expr option

You can use the following standard Boolean expressions as arguments to the expr option.

Note: Enclose the entire Boolean string following the expr option in quotation marks. Attributes you use in the string must be enclosed in braces {}.

Example of the expr option

For example, if you want to restrict the filestats command output to include only files whose size is greater than 10,000 bytes and whose UID is 5150, enter the following command:

filestats expr "{size}>10000&&{uid}==5150" volume vol0 snapshot hourly.0
