Thank you for your bug report but this is not a bug in stat but a misunderstanding of how file globs operate with your command shell. The '*' on your command line is expanded by the shell to all of the files in the directory. You have a filename that starts with a dash. The resulting command line is the same as if you had placed the dash on the command line yourself. You can see this by using 'echo' to print out the command. $ echo stat -c %n * echo stat -c %n -sdjfè`@$&.txt As you can see by using echo there is no difference between having a file starting with a dash and placing an option with a dash on the command line. The only way to tell is for you to invoke the command without the ambiguity. Either use ./* to avoid having filenames start with a dash or use "--" to signal to the command that there are no further options. Either: $ stat -c %n ./* Or: $ stat -c %n -- * Bob
