using something like debugfs to read the field off the disk image isn't much of an interface, and it's going to need privileged access anyway.

It's just that implementation for getting those extended stats vary quite a bit, so there not in tools like ls or find. Argument being is that ls would have to know details of the file system to get the info and that's not what ls is about. | |
