 -fm   This is actually "rec fm" and it indicates whether the file is in
       a fixed or variable record format

 lrecl logical record length.  For a file with fixed record format (F),
       this is the length of each record.  For a file with variable record
       format (V), this is the maximum record length.

 nrecs number of records in the file
