Re: what's a good way to check a file size (as part of a "make check") from automake?

I suspect parsing ls -l will prove to be Interesting.

If you know you will be running on *ix, try 'wc -c' or 'du -b', and know
that you will still have problems on some systems.

If you know you will require perl, a little perl script will probably be
the most sane.
