Since you've got it in RCS, you shouldn't have any problem adding new
features. How about a selectable display of fields, and ability to put
them in machine-readable (read: no cut required) form? I'd suggest
having a function that would printf "%s: whatever", arg1 for humans
and "whatever" for machines, selectable by something like a -c
"compact output flag." Here's the GPLd stat I have:
{"/usr"}# stat
stat [-cihsv] [-o opts] [-f file] [filename ...]
-h this help
-v verbose output
-c compact output
-i ignore errors
-s stop on error
-f read filenames to be stat-ed from file (- means stdin)
-d dereference symbolic links.
-o opts output options (case insensitive):
a access time
c creation time
d device
g group
i inode
l links
m mode
n file name
o modification time
s size
t type
u owner
