Thanks.
Now it looks like this:
stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0:
FMT is automatically newline terminated. The first stable release
containing this change was 5.92.
stat accepts the new option --printf=PFMT, where PFMT is *not* automatically
newline terminated. Backslash escapes in PFMT *are* interpreted.
