About is a command-line program which displays brief
information about the file or files you supply on the
command line with it.
At present it will display all the information which the
List command does - real name (if the file is linked this
will be the name of the original file), size, number of
blocks it uses, protection bits, date and time when it was
last modified, comment attached to it - plus the 'class' of
data it thinks the file contains, the DataType group of
this data, and the name of the format which the file
appears to follow. Details of how file types are recognised
are at the end of this file.
