How to check is the given <ipfs_hash> is already fully downloaded or not?

First when I run ipfs --offline block stat <ipfs_hash> and if the hash does not locally exist I get following message: Error: blockservice: key not found.

How can I resolve this in order to detect if the asked hashed is fully downloaded or not?

I can do something like ipfs refs local | grep <hash> , but I don't want to keep fetch all the hashes and it will be slower when there is hundreds of hashes exist.

ipfs files stat --with-local --size <path> returns the downloaded percentage of the requested ipfs hash. If its 100.00% than we can verify that its fully downloaded into local ipfs repo.

ipfs files stat <path> - Display file status.

--with-local  bool   - Compute the amount of the dag that is local, and if possible the total size.
--size        bool   - Print only size. Implies '--format=<cumulsize>'. Conflicts with other format options. ```

$ hash="QmPHTrNR9yQYRU4Me4nSG5giZVxb4zTtEe1aZshgByFCFS"
$ ipfs files stat --with-local --size /ipfs/$hash
407624015
Local: 408 MB of 408 MB (100.00%)
