Execute command from within a selection of directories.

A dash (‘-`) is used to separate the directory selection from the command to be executed.

For example, to list all files in all subdirectories:

$ cdexec * - ls -1

The ‘*` selects all the subdirectories. The `ls -1` command following the `-` is run within each directory, resulting in a complete list of files.

More interesting result when used with source control systems, e.g.

$ cdexec * - reap
