regardless whether the output is to a terminal or not. As this is consistent with the SUSPv2 specification (even though we do not otherwise fully implement SUSPv2's ls(1) options), document this as it is now, rather than trying to change the behaviour itself.

.Op Ar
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
For each operand that names a
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
of a type other than
|
|
directory,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays its name as well as any requested,
|
|
associated information.
|
|
For each operand that names a
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
of type directory,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays the names of files contained
|
|
within that directory, as well as any requested, associated
|
|
information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no operands are given, the contents of the current
|
|
directory are displayed.
|
|
If more than one operand is given,
|
|
non-directory operands are displayed first; directory
|
|
and non-directory operands are sorted separately and in
|
|
lexicographical order.

|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Force printing of non-printable characters (as defined by
|
|
.Xr ctype 3
|
|
and current locale settings) in file names as

where
|
|
.Va xxx
|
|
is the numeric value of the character in octal.

|
after each that is executable,
|
|
an at sign
|
|
.Pq Ql @
|
|
after each symbolic link,
|
|
an equals sign
|
|
.Pq Ql =
|
|
after each socket,
|
|
a percent sign
|
|
.Pq Ql %
|
|
after each whiteout,
|
|
and a vertical bar
|
|
.Pq Ql \&|
|
|
after each that is a
|
|
.Tn FIFO .
|
|
.It Fl G
|
|
Enable colorized output.
|
|
This option is equivalent to defining
|
|
.Ev CLICOLOR

.Fl l
|
|
options are specified.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
If argument is a symbolic link, list the file or directory the link references
|
|
rather than the link itself.
|
|
This option cancels the
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
If argument is a symbolic link, list the link itself rather than the
|

|
Directories are listed as plain files (not searched recursively).
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Output is not sorted.
|
|
.It Fl g
|
|
This option is deprecated and is only available for compatibility
|
|
with
|
|
.Bx 4.3 ;
|
|
it was used to display the group name in the long
|
|
.Pq Fl l
|
|
format output.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
When used with the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option, use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte
|
|
and Petabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to four or fewer
|
|
using base 2 for sizes.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
For each file, print the file's file serial number (inode number).
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl s

|
|
not blocks.
|
|
This option overrides the environment variable
|
|
.Ev BLOCKSIZE .
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
is mutually exclusive to
|
|
.Fl h ,
|
|
and later
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
will nullify earlier
|
|
.Fl h .
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
(The lowercase letter
|
|
.Dq ell . )
|
|
List in long format.
|
|
(See below.)
|
|
A total sum (in blocks, see the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option for the block size unit) for all the file
|
|
sizes is output on a line before the long listing.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Stream output format; list files across the page, separated by commas.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Display user and group IDs numerically rather than converting to a user
|
|
or group name in a long
|
|
.Pq Fl l
|
|
output.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Include the file flags in a long
|
|
.Pq Fl l
|
|
output.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Write a slash
|
|
.Pq Ql /
|

|
|
Reverse the order of the sort to get reverse
|
|
lexicographical order or the oldest entries first.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display the number of file system blocks actually used by each file, in units
|
|
of 512 bytes, where partial units are rounded up to the next integer value.
|
|
A total sum for all the file
|
|
sizes is output on a line before the listing.
|

.Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
overrides the unit size of 512 bytes.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Sort by time modified (most recently modified
|
|
first) before sorting the operands by lexicographical
|
|
order.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Use time of last access,
|
|
instead of last modification
|
|
of the file for sorting
|
|
.Pq Fl t
|
|
or printing
|
|
.Pq Fl l .
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Force raw printing of non-printable characters.
|
|
This is the default
|
|
when output is not to a terminal.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
The same as
|
|
.Fl C ,
|
|
except that the multi-column output is produced with entries sorted

|
|
.It Fl 1
|
|
(The numeric digit
|
|
.Dq one . )
|
|
Force output to be

|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl 1 , C , x ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl l
|

options all override each other; the last one specified determines
|
|
the format used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
options override each other; the last one specified determines
|
|
the file time used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl B , b , w ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
options all override each other; the last one specified determines
|
|
the format used for non-printable characters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H , L
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
options all override each other (either partially or fully); they
|
|
are applied in the order specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
lists one entry per line to standard
|
|
output; the exceptions are to terminals or when the
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
options are specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
File information is displayed with one or more
|
|
.Ao blank Ac Ns s
|
|
separating the information associated with the
|
|
.Fl i , s ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
options.
|
|
.Ss The Long Format
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option is given, the following information
|
|
is displayed for each file:
|
|
file mode,
|
|
number of links, owner name, group name,
|
|
MAC label,
|
|
number of bytes in the file, abbreviated
|
|
month, day-of-month file was last modified,
|
|
hour file last modified, minute file last
|
|
modified, and the pathname.
|
|
In addition, for each directory whose contents are displayed, the total
|
|
number of 512-byte blocks used by the files in the directory is displayed
|
|
on a line by itself immediately before the information for the files in the
|
|
directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the modification time of the file is more than 6 months
|
|
in the past or future, then the year of the last modification
|
|
is displayed in place of the hour and minute fields.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the owner or group names are not a known user or group name,
|
|
or the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
option is given,
|
|
the numeric ID's are displayed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the file is a character special or block special file,
|
|
the major and minor device numbers for the file are displayed
|
|
in the size field.
|
|
If the file is a symbolic link the pathname of the
|
|
linked-to file is preceded by
|
|
.Dq Li -> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file mode printed under the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option consists of the
|
|
entry type and the permissions.
|
|
The entry type character describes the type of file, as
|
|
follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Sy b
|
|
Block special file.
|
|
.It Sy c
|
|
Character special file.
|
|
.It Sy d
|
|
Directory.
|
|
.It Sy l
|
|
Symbolic link.
|
|
.It Sy s
|
|
Socket link.
|
|
.It Sy p
|
|
.Tn FIFO .
|
|
.It Sy \-
|
|
Regular file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next three fields
|
|
are three characters each:
|
|
owner permissions,
|
|
group permissions, and
|
|
other permissions.
|
|
Each field has three character positions:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Sy r ,
|
|
the file is readable; if
|
|
.Sy \- ,
|
|
it is not readable.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Sy w ,
|
|
the file is writable; if
|
|
.Sy \- ,
|
|
it is not writable.
|
|
.It
|
|
The first of the following that applies:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy S
|
|
If in the owner permissions, the file is not executable and
|
|
set-user-ID mode is set.
|
|
If in the group permissions, the file is not executable
|
|
and set-group-ID mode is set.
|
|
.It Sy s
|
|
If in the owner permissions, the file is executable
|
|
and set-user-ID mode is set.
|
|
If in the group permissions, the file is executable
|
|
and setgroup-ID mode is set.
|
|
.It Sy x
|
|
The file is executable or the directory is
|
|
searchable.
|
|
.It Sy \-
|
|
The file is neither readable, writable, executable,
|
|
nor set-user-ID nor set-group-ID mode, nor sticky.
|
|
(See below.)
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These next two apply only to the third character in the last group
|
|
(other permissions).
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy T
|
|
The sticky bit is set
|
|
(mode
|
|
.Li 1000 ) ,
|
|
but not execute or search permission.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr chmod 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr sticky 8 . )
|
|
.It Sy t
|
|
The sticky bit is set (mode
|
|
.Li 1000 ) ,
|
|
and is searchable or executable.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr chmod 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr sticky 8 . )
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next field contains a
|
|
plus
|
|
.Pq Ql +
|
|
character if the file has an ACL, or a
|
|
space
|
|
.Pq Ql " "
|
|
if it does not.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not show the actual ACL;
|
|
use
|
|
.Xr getfacl 1
|
|
to do this.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following is how to do an
|
|
.Nm
|
|
listing sorted by size (and shows why
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not need a separate option for this):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ls -l | sort -n +4"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additionally, the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag to
|
|
.Xr sort 1
|
|
may be used
|
|
to get the results sorted from largest to smallest (a reverse sort).
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ev CLICOLOR_FORCE"
|
|
.It Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
If the environment variable
|
|
.Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
is set, the block counts
|
|
(see
|
|
.Fl s )
|
|
will be displayed in units of that size block.
|
|
.It Ev CLICOLOR
|
|
Use
|
|
.Tn ANSI
|
|
color sequences to distinguish file types.
|
|
See
|
|
.Ev LSCOLORS
|
|
below.
|
|
In addition to the file types mentioned in the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
option some extra attributes (setuid bit set, etc.) are also displayed.
|
|
The colorization is dependent on a terminal type with the proper
|
|
.Xr termcap 5
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
The default
|
|
.Dq Li cons25
|
|
console has the proper capabilities,
|
|
but to display the colors in an
|
|
.Xr xterm 1 ,
|
|
for example,
|
|
the
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
variable must be set to
|
|
.Dq Li xterm-color .
|
|
Other terminal types may require similar adjustments.
|
|
Colorization
|
|
is silently disabled if the output isn't directed to a terminal
|
|
unless the
|
|
.Ev CLICOLOR_FORCE
|
|
variable is defined.
|
|
.It Ev CLICOLOR_FORCE
|
|
Color sequences are normally disabled if the output isn't directed to
|
|
a terminal.
|
|
This can be overridden by setting this flag.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
variable still needs to reference a color capable terminal however
|
|
otherwise it is not possible to determine which color sequences to
|
|
use.
|
|
.It Ev COLUMNS
|
|
If this variable contains a string representing a
|
|
decimal integer, it is used as the
|
|
column position width for displaying
|
|
multiple-text-column output.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility calculates how
|
|
many pathname text columns to display
|
|
based on the width provided.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl x . )
|
|
.It Ev LANG
|
|
The locale to use when determining the order of day and month in the long
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
format output.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr environ 7
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Ev LSCOLORS
|
|
The value of this variable describes what color to use for which
|
|
attribute when colors are enabled with
|
|
.Ev CLICOLOR .
|
|
This string is a concatenation of pairs of the format
|
|
.Ar f Ns Ar b ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar f
|
|
is the foreground color and
|
|
.Ar b
|
|
is the background color.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The color designators are as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Sy a
|
|
black
|
|
.It Sy b

|
|
.It Sy f
|

|
|
.It Sy g
|
|

|
|
.It Sy h
|
|

|
|
.It Sy A
|

bold black, usually shows up as dark grey
|
|
.It Sy B
|
|

|
|
.It Sy C
|
|
bold green
|
|
.It Sy D
|
|
bold brown, usually shows up as yellow
|
|
.It Sy E
|
|
bold blue
|
|
.It Sy F
|
|
bold magenta
|
|
.It Sy G
|
|
bold cyan
|
|
.It Sy H
|
|
bold light grey; looks like bright white
|
|
.It Sy x
|
|
default foreground or background
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the above are standard
|
|
.Tn ANSI
|
|
colors.
|
|
The actual display may differ
|
|
