The only other shell tool you need is man :)

-size n[bckw]
File uses n units of space. The units are 512-byte
blocks by default or if `b' follows n, bytes if `c'
follows n, kilobytes if `k' follows n, or 2-byte
words if `w' follows n. The size does not count
indirect blocks, but it does count blocks in sparse
files that are not actually allocated.
Hope this helps.
