stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer
part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from
- coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive. To obtain
- a nanosecond-precision floating point time stamp for %X use %.X;
- if you want (say) just 3 fractional digits, use %.3X. Likewise
- for %Y and %Z.

stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds.
However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work
# Now that we have better tests, make this the default.

print after the decimal point. For example, @samp{%.3X} outputs the
last access time to millisecond precision. If a period is given but no
precision, @command{stat} uses 9 digits, so @samp{%.X} is equivalent to
-@samp{%.9X} When discarding excess precision, time stamps are truncated
+@samp{%.9X}. When discarding excess precision, time stamps are truncated
toward minus infinity.
