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/!(.|..)
