- Checks file attributes like type, permissions, inode, uid, gid, size, mtime, and more.
- Supports Posix ACL, SELinux, XAttrs, and extended file system attributes if compiled in.
- Features plain text config files, powerful regex support, gzip compression, and standalone static binary.
- Current stable version is 0.19.1, runs on any modern Unix.
- Source tarballs and git tags are GnuPG-signed by maintainer Hannes von Haugwitz.
- License: GPL-2.0.
