Is there a similar functionality of "Get Info" (Cmd+I) from the Mac OS X Terminal.app? I would like to ask if in OS X there is a similar functionality of "Get Info" (Cmd+I) but from the Mac OS X Terminal.app? I mean something like finderGetInfo /path/to/a/file.ext which will output the infos for the file but in the terminal console? Like this:



But from the command line:

Machine:~ antony$ finderGetInfo /Users/antony/file.ext
General:
   Kind: Document
   Size: 29 bytes (4 KB on disk)
   Where: /Users/antony
   Created: Today 08:58
   Modified: Today 08:58
   Stationery pad: NO
   Locked: NO
More Info:
   --
Name &amp; Extension: file.ext
Comments: ...
etc...


It would be very useful when creating some automatic tools that need to extrapolate some useful information from a file of any type.

Is it possible in OS X?
mdls lists file metadata. A sample below for a folder
