    <tt><font size=+1>ls</font></tt> [ <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;dlmnpqrstuFQ</font></tt> ] <i>name ...

<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION     </b></font><br>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>

    For each directory argument, <i>ls</i> lists the contents of the directory;
    for each file argument, <i>ls</i> repeats its name and any other information
    requested. When no argument is given, the current directory is
    listed. By default, the output is sorted alphabetically by name.
    
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    <i>Lc</i> is the same as <i>ls</i>, but sets the <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;p</font></tt> option and pipes the output
    through <a href="../man1/mc.html"><i>mc</i>(1)</a>. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    There are a number of options:<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;d</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If argument is a directory, list it, not its contents.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;l</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;List in long format, giving mode (see below), file system type
    (e.g., for devices, the <tt><font size=+1>#</font></tt> code letter that names it; see <a href="../man3/intro.html"><i>intro</i>(3)</a>),
    the instance or subdevice number, owner, group, size in bytes,
    and time of last modification for each file.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;m</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;List the name of the user who most recently modified the file.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;n</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don&#8217;t sort the listing.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;p</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print only the final path element of each file name.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;q</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;List the <i>qid</i> (see <a href="../man3/stat.html"><i>stat</i>(3)</a>) of each file; the printed fields
    are in the order path, version, and type.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;r</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reverse the order of sort.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;s</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Give size in Kbytes for each entry.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;t</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sort by time modified (latest first) instead of by name.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;u</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;t</font></tt> sort by time of last access; under <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;l</font></tt> print time of
    last access.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;F</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Add the character <tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt> after all directory names and the character
    <tt><font size=+1>*</font></tt> after all executable files.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;L</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print the character <tt><font size=+1>t</font></tt> before each file if it has the temporary
    flag set, and <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt> otherwise.<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;Q</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By default, printed file names are quoted if they contain characters
    special to <a href="../man1/rc.html"><i>rc</i>(1)</a>. The <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;Q</font></tt> flag disables this behavior. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    The mode printed under the <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;l</font></tt> option contains 11 characters, interpreted
    as follows: the first character is<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>d</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the entry is a directory;<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>a</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the entry is an append-only file;<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the entry is a plain file. 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    The next letter is <tt><font size=+1>l</font></tt> if the file is exclusive access (one writer
    or reader at a time). 
    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
    
    The last 9 characters are interpreted as three sets of three bits
    each. The first set refers to owner permissions; the next to permissions
    to others in the same user-group; and the last to all others.
    Within each set the three characters indicate permission respectively
    to read, to write, or to execute the file as a program.
    For a directory, &#8216;execute&#8217; permission is interpreted to mean permission
    to search the directory for a specified file. The permissions
    are indicated as follows:<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>r</font></tt>if the file is readable;<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>w</font></tt>if the file is writable;<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>x</font></tt>if the file is executable;<br>
    <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt>if none of the above permissions is granted.<br>
