From a670b0b4aed129dc11b465c1c330bfe9202023e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Forney Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 17:54:02 -0700 Subject: kbuild: Use ls(1) instead of stat(1) to obtain file size stat(1) is not standardized and different implementations have their own (conflicting) flags for querying the size of a file. ls(1) provides the same information (value of st.st_size) in the 5th column, except when the file is a character or block device. This output is standardized[0]. The -n option turns on -l, which writes lines formatted like "%s %u %s %s %u %s %s\n", , , , , , , but instead of writing the and , it writes the numeric owner and group IDs (this avoids /etc/passwd and /etc/group lookups as well as potential field splitting issues). The field is specified as "the value that would be returned for the file in the st_size field of struct stat". To avoid duplicating logic in several locations in the tree, create scripts/file-size.sh and update callers to use that instead of stat(1).
