The `stat` command tells you information about a file at the filesystem level.
Some common thing I use:
```bash
stat -c "%n -- %s"      # name and size, separated by --
stat -c "%w"            # creation time
stat -c "%x %y %z"      # other times
```
just running `stat file` tells you everything in a nicely formatted way.
```
