GNU stat -c is macOS/FreeBSD stat -f

[LucasLarson]

This works on macOS only if stat is an alias to coreutils’s stat (gstat if using Homebrew)

macOS/FreeBSD stat uses -f instead of -c to format the output.

It would work with an additional test of output...

[ "$(stat -L -c %d:%i "${1}" 2>/dev/null || stat -L -f %d:%i "${1}")" = "$(stat -L -c %d:%i "${2}" 2>/dev/null || stat -L -f %d:%i "${2}")" ] && return 0 || return 1

...which somewhat less illegibly is this:

[ "$(
  stat -L -c %d:%i "${1}" 2>/dev/null ||
  stat -L -f %d:%i "${1}"
)" = "$(
  stat -L -c %d:%i "${2}" 2>/dev/null ||
  stat -L -f %d:%i "${2}"
)" ] && return 0 || return 1
