In a script in am working on I need to find out the allocated size of a sparse file. The only command that comes to mind is "ls -lh" The "du -h" command is not appropriate because it will show the occupied size and not the allocated size. I don't know how to parse out to the position in the output of that "ls -lh" command to pickup the file size value. Is there some other way to do this?
