The ls command stands for
``list.'' You can use this command to view a
list of all the files in a directory.
Example:
[jdpoisso@legio data]$ ls architechture.c architechture.h image interface.c interface.h main.c
A common usage is to use ``ls
-la'' to list additional details, including permissions,
file ownership and file size.
Example:
[jdpoisso@legio data]$ ls -la total 60 drwxrwxr-x. 3 jdpoisso jdpoisso 4096 2010-07-02 11:56 . drwx------. 65 jdpoisso jdpoisso 4096 2010-07-02 11:56 .. -rw-rw-r--. 1 jdpoisso jdpoisso 1214 2010-05-27 13:39 architechture.c -rw-rw-r--. 1 jdpoisso jdpoisso 7895 2010-05-27 13:39 architechture.h drwxrwxr-x. 2 jdpoisso jdpoisso 4096 2010-05-27 14:12 image -rw-rw-r--. 1 jdpoisso jdpoisso 2730 2010-05-27 13:39 interface.c -rw-rw-r--. 1 jdpoisso jdpoisso 182 2010-05-27 13:39 interface.h -rw-rw-r--. 1 jdpoisso jdpoisso 420 2010-05-27 13:39 main.c
