files starting with "-" makes stat to say "invalid option -- 'S'"
example, create a file "-fddsfdf.txt" and run "stat *" or "stat
-fddsfdf.txt"
and then again , create a file "fddsfdf.txt" and run "stat *" or "stat
fddsfdf.txt"
In first case, it will says "invalid option -- 'S'",
in second, it will be run normally.
