explain_stat_or_die(pathname, buf);
pathname

buf The buf, exactly as to be passed to the stat(2) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

To list file permission/access right in octal format, linux has a command 'stat'. For example, we can use the followin -
stat -c %a `find . -type f
Is there any equivalent command in AIX and HP-UX to give the same result as linux 'stat' command?
