       %Z     time of last status change, seconds since Epoch

       Valid format sequences for file systems:

       %a     free blocks available to non-superuser

       %b     total data blocks in file system

       %c     total file nodes in file system

       %d     free file nodes in file system

       %f     free blocks in file system

       %i     file system ID in hex

       %l     maximum length of filenames

       %n     file name

       %s     block size (for faster transfers)

       %S     fundamental block size (for block counts)

       %t     file system type in hex

       %T     file system type in human readable form

   ‐‐terse is equivalent to the following FORMAT:
              %n %s %b %f %u %g %D %i %h %t %T %X %Y %Z %W %o %C

   ‐‐terse ‐‐file‐system is equivalent to the following FORMAT:
              %n %i %l %t %s %S %b %f %a %c %d

       NOTE:  your shell may have its own version of stat, which usually super‐
       sedes the version described here.  Please refer to your shell’s documen‐
       tation for details about the options it supports.

Title: stat - Format sequences and additional information
Summary
This section continues the description of the `stat` command, detailing the valid format sequences for files and file systems. For files, it lists options like %t and %T for device types, %u and %U for user information, %w and %W for file birth time, %x and %X for last access time, %y and %Y for last modification time, and %z and %Z for last status change time. For file systems, it lists options like %a for free blocks, %b for total data blocks, %c for total file nodes, %d for free file nodes, %f for free blocks, %i for file system ID, %l for maximum filename length, %n for filename, %s for block size, %S for fundamental block size, %t for file system type in hex, and %T for file system type in human-readable form. It also notes the equivalent formats for `--terse` and `--terse --file-system` options. The document also mentions that the shell may have its own version of `stat`. Finally, it provides information about the author, bug reporting, copyright, and related documentation.
