Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 201010190017.52346.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:

How about using
stat -c '%s'
to get the file size in a single command, without need to actually read all the data?
because `stat` isnt portable :(. it isnt part of the POSIX standard ... OSX certainly does not support this, and i imagine most *BSD's dont.
I see (well, at least FreeBSD 8.1 has "stat"; their man page claims it "appeared in NetBSD 1.6 and FreeBSD 4.10).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
