Maybe. The warning was added in 2005 without mentioning specific shells: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/d209b0f75 I see zsh has a stat module: https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fstat-Module I also see a bash stat loadable: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=bash.git;a=blob;f=examples/loadables/stat.c;hb=HEAD Though if we're considering loadables, then that would cover most commands. It might be best to remove this warning indeed. cheers, Pádraig
