I think you mean stat -c %B (on GNU stat). without -c, %B would be a filename

What does `stat -c '%B' *` mean?

stat -c '%B' * reports the same number 512 for each file. What does %B mean? I don't understand the manual:

%B - The size in bytes of each block reported by ‘%b’

Is it related to my block size:

$ sudo blockdev --getbsz /dev/sda1
4096

Thanks.
