Usage: /usr/bin/statx [options] <FILE>...
Display file status via statx() syscall.
List information about the FILE (the current diretory by default) via statx() syscall.
options:
-L --dereference follow links

See MODE below

`never` will try to synchronize with the latest attributes,
and `default` will leave it up to the underlying file system.
