How can one stat an entire directory using a single command line starting with bash -c?
How can one stat an entire directory using a single command line starting with bash -c?
This returns all files except for those prefixed with .
bash -c "stat /path/todir/**"
This returns all files starting with . including . & .. which should be excluded.
bash -c "stat /path/todir/.*"
This works but not under bash -c and requires two lines
shopt -s dotglob
stat /path/todir/**
This too
stat /path/todir/!(.|..)

The extended glob options are visible only to the current shell and not to the sub-shells launched. You need to set them inside the sub-shell also for the glob option to be available
bash -c 'shopt -s dotglob; stat /path/todir/**'
Notice the use of single quotes around the entire shell shell command list. It is much more safe in a way you can avoid unnecessary variable expansion (passing a literal string) and use quoted strings with much ease.
