find: combining multiple “-exec” statements not working with toybox / Android?

I am trying to figure this out on an Android phone running Oreo / 8.0, with toybox 0.7.3-android.

I am trying to get a list of files inside a folder and their respective mtime. I am running this command:

find . -type f -exec stat -c %n {} ; -exec stat -c %y {} ;

or

find . -type f -exec stat -c %n "{}" ; -exec stat -c %y "{}" ;

In both cases I am only getting the result from the first invocation of “stat”. Am I overseeing something or is this the way toybox works on Android?

Answer

If toybox can’t do multiple exec, there are alternatives.

In this particular case, you may be able to just use a single stat:

find . -type f -exec stat -c "$(echo -e "%nn%y")" {} ;

# or just insert the newline verbatim in single quotes:
find . -type f -exec stat -c '%n
%y' {} ;

For running multiple commands (assuming paths don’t contain newlines):

find . -type f -print | while IFS= read -r f; do
    stat -c $n "$f";
    stat -c %y "$f";
done
