# List Stats For A File
The `ls` command is good for listing files. Tacking on the `-la` flags gives
you a bunch of info about each of the listed files. To get even more info,
we can use the `stat` command.
```bash
$ stat README.md
16777220 143994676 -rw-r--r-- 1 jbranchaud staff 0 53557 "Jul 14 14:53:44 2018" "Jul 10 14:54:39 2018" "Jul 10 14:54:39 2018" "Jul 10 14:54:39 2018" 4096 112 0 README.md
```
That's definitely more info, but it is unlabeled and a lot to parse. We can
improve the output with the `-x` flag.
```bash
$ stat -x README.md
File: "README.md"
Size: 53557 FileType: Regular File
Mode: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 501/jbranchaud) Gid: ( 20/ staff)
Device: 1,4 Inode: 143994676 Links: 1
Access: Sat Jul 14 14:53:44 2018
Modify: Tue Jul 10 14:54:39 2018
Change: Tue Jul 10 14:54:39 2018
```
See `man stat` for more details.
