xstat bash function to get file creation time on Linux with EXT4

xstat

xstat() {
  for target in "${@}"; do
    inode=$(ls -di "${target}" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
    fs=$(df "${target}"  | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
    crtime=$(sudo debugfs -R 'stat <'"${inode}"'>' "${fs}" 2>/dev/null | 
    grep -oP 'crtime.*--\s*\K.*')
    printf "%s\t%s\n" "${crtime}" "${target}"
  done
}

Requires sudo :'(

@nehaljwani On Arch Linux, not requieres sudo !
@moiseevigor Thinks for your utility !!! Have you an idea how to preserve 'crtime' during copy ? I've looked for on internet, but I've found nothing. I think, we need a tool for change 'crtime'. If there is this tool, we can update crtime of new file with crtime of original file.

Thinks in advance !!

Suggest changing line twenty to fs=$(df "${target}" | awk '/^[^Filesystem]/ && /^\// {print $1}' ), this gets around the issue of DF's handling of long path names.
