The previous versions of the ls command displayed only the names of directories and files in a wide format (across the screen).
The ls
command can be used with the -l (long) option to see more detailed
information on each file or directory. The ls
-l option will also distinguish
between files and directories. Note that the -l option is a
lower case letter L.
The ls
-l command provides
the file information shown in the Figure . By default, the ls
command lists files in alphabetic order. Using -t (time) option
will list files with the most recently modified at the top of the
list. To get a detailed (long) listing of files sorted by time (most
recent at the top) use the ls
-lt command.
