The stat command is used to query the description of buckets or objects. For example, you can run the stat command to view the object metadata that is set by running the set-meta command.

Note The commands described in this topic apply to Linux. To use the commands in other systems, replace ./ossutil in the command with the actual executable program name. For example, you can use the help command in 32-bit Windows systems by running ossutil32.exe help.

Command syntax

./ossutil stat oss://bucket[/object] [--encoding-type url] [--payer requester] [-c file]

Examples

  • Query the information about a bucket 
     ./ossutil stat oss://bucket1
  • Query the information about a specified object 
    ./ossutil stat oss://bucket1/object
  • Query the information about an object whose names contain special characters
    ossutil only supports URL encoding for object names. If an object name contains special characters, you can encode these special characters before you use the object name in the command. For example, you can run the following command to query the information about the 示例.txt object: 
    ./ossutil stat oss://bucket1/%E7%A4%BA%E4%BE%8B.txt --encoding-type url
    Notice Bucket names cannot be URL-encoded.
  • View a specified version of an object in a bucket that has versioning enabled 
    ./ossutil stat oss://bucket1/test.jpg --version-id  CAEQARiBgID8rumR2hYiIGUyOTAyZGY2MzU5MjQ5ZjlhYzQzZjNlYTAyZDE3MDRk
    To use the --version-id option, you must run the ls --all-versions command to obtain all available versions of the object.
    Note The --version-id option can only be used for objects in versioning-enabled buckets. For more information about the command used to enable versioning on a bucket, see bucket-versioning.
