I'm altering a script from Unix to Linux, and I came across the Unix stat command - not the function, but the command.

I know I had to get an rpm to run this in RedHat 8 - however, the unix command also has "-m" as an option.

I just can't seem to find what the option does - could someone familiar with the stat command let me know?

Web searches are turing up emtpy, even the man stat isn't helping.

Again, this is for the command, NOT the function
 

The stat command dumps inode information for a file.

I believe the -m option dumps the modification information only.
