This:
(cd /usr/share/locale/; stat $(en_US/LC_COLLATE))
means "open a subshell, cd
to /usr/share/locale
, run the command en_US/LC_COLLATE
, and run stat
on the output".
But I think the command you want to run is readlink en_US/LC_COLLATE
, not en_US/LC_COLLATE
; so:
(cd /usr/share/locale/; stat $(readlink en_US/LC_COLLATE))
(I'm guessing this was just a typo?)
