what is wild card to select all directories in a directory

Question

i want to set sticky bit for all directories in a directory excluding files. is there any wild card to do this?

#sudo chmod g+s /var/www/<WILD_CARD_FOR_ALL_DIRECTORIES>

Answer 1

Use */ to match only directories.

chmod g+s /var/www/*/

To match all directories and subdirectories use **/*/ (provided you have globstar enabled in bash):

shopt -s globstar
chmod g+s /var/www/**/*/

Answer 2

you can use find , see below example

find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

Answer 3

This is NOT a wildcard, so I apologize for a non-answer, however...
ls -al |grep ^d | awk '{print$NF}' will list all directories in the current dir, it's up to you to decide if you want to process . and .. or strip them.

echo $(ls -al |grep ^d | awk '{print$NF}') does makes it behave like a wildcard
