.Op Fl ABCFHLPRTWabcdfgikloqrstu1
|
|
.Op Ar file ...
|
|
.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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
List all entries except for
|
|
.Ql \&.
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&.. .
|
|
Always set for the super-user.
|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Force printing of non-graphic characters in file names as \\xxx,
|
|
where xxx is the numeric value of the character in octal.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Force multi-column output; this is the default when output is to a terminal.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Display a slash (/) immediately after each pathname
|
|
that is a directory, an asterisk (*) after each that is
|
|
executable,
|
|
an at sign (@) after each symbolic link,
|
|
an equals sign (=) after each socket,
|
|
a percent sign (%) after each whiteout,
|
|
and a vertical bar (|) after each that is a
|
|
.Tn FIFO .
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
Symbolic links on the command line are followed. This option is assumed if
|
|
none of the
|
|
.Fl F ,
|
|
.Fl d ,
|
|
or
|
|
.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
|
|
object the link references. This option cancels the
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
options.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Recursively list subdirectories encountered.

As
|
|
.Fl B ,
|
|
but use C escape codes whenever possible.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Use time when file status was last changed for sorting or printing.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
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 i
|
|
For each file, print the file's file serial number (inode number).
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option is specified, print the file size allocation in kilobytes,
|
|
not blocks. This option overrides the environment variable BLOCKSIZE.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
(The lowercase letter ``ell.'') List in long format. (See below.)

|
.Pq Fl l
|
|
output.
|
|
.It Fl q

|
|
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.
|
|
If the output is to a terminal, a total sum for all the file
|
|
sizes is output on a line before the listing. The environment variable
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
instead of last modification
|
|
of the file for sorting
|
|
.Pq Fl t

or printing
|
|
.Pq Fl l .
|
|
.It Fl \&1
|
|
(The numeric digit ``one.'') Force output to be
|
|
one entry per line.
|
|
This is the default when
|
|
output is not to a terminal.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl 1 ,
|
|
.Fl C ,
|
|
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 ,
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
options all override each other; the last one specified determines
|
|
the format used for non-printable characters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H,
|
|
.Fl 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
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
File information is displayed with one or more
|
|
<blank>s separating the information associated with the
|
|
.Fl i ,
|
|
.Fl 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,
|
|
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
|
|
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 \-> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file mode printed under the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option consists of the
|
|
entry type, owner permissions, and group 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
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of
|
|
.Nm Ns :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE
|
|
.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 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 . )
|
|
.It Ev TZ
|
|
The timezone to use when displaying dates.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr environ 7
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Ev LS_COLWIDTHS
|
|
If this variable is set, it is considered to be a
|
|
colon-delimited list of minimum column widths. Unreasonable
|
|
and insufficient widths are ignored (thus zero signifies
|
|
a dynamically sized column). Not all
|
|
columns have changeable widths. The fields are,
|
|
in order: inode, block count, number of links, user name,
|
|
group name, flags, file size, file name.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The group field is now automatically included in the long listing for
|
|
files in order to be compatible with the
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
An
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v1 .
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function is expected to be a superset of the
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
To maintain backward compatibility, the relationships between the many
|
|
options is quite complex.
