Hello,

stat (GNU coreutils) 8.5

the format string length is counted in bytes and not in characters so that the 
presence of variable length characters causes misalignment

In the following example the character 'é' is 2 bytes long :
$ find . | while read P; do LANG=C stat --printf '%16F 0x%f\n' "$P"; done
        directory 0x41ed
    symbolic link 0xa1ff

     regular file 0x81f6
$ find . | while read P; do LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8 stat --printf '%16F 0x%f\n' "$P"; 
done
      répertoire 0x41ed
  lien symbolique 0xa1ff
          fichier 0x81f6


It seems your email "fell between the cracks" and not replied to in many years. Sorry about that.

If this is still an issue, please visit the following page to
find the contact person about French translations:

As the coreutils' team can't fix translations, I'm closing this item.
