This is a simple snippet to echo the size of a file in bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
|
FILENAME=/home/heiko/dummy/packages.txt
|
|
|
|
|
FILESIZE=$(wc -c < "$FILENAME")
|
|
|
|
|
# non standard way (GNU stat): FILESIZE=$(stat -c%s "$FILENAME")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo "Size of $FILENAME = $FILESIZE bytes."
