Description

List directory contents. Ignore files and directories starting with a '.' by default

Options

--help

Print help information.

--format

Set the display format.

-C

Display the files in columns.

-l,  --long

Display detailed information.

-x

List entries in rows instead of in columns.

-T,  --tabsize=COLS

Assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8 (unimplemented)
May also be specified with the TABSIZE environment variable.

-m

List entries separated by commas.

--zero

List entries separated by ASCII NUL characters.

-D,  --dired

generate output designed for Emacs' dired (Directory Editor) mode

--hyperlink=WHEN [default: never]

hyperlink file names WHEN

[possible values: always, auto, never]

-1

List one file per line.

-o

Long format without group information. Identical to --format=long with --no-group.

-g

Long format without owner information.

-n,  --numeric-uid-gid

-l with numeric UIDs and GIDs.

--quoting-style

Set quoting style.

[possible values: literal, shell, shell-escape, shell-always, shell-escape-always, c, escape]

-N,  --literal

Use literal quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=literal`

-b,  --escape

Use escape quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=escape`

-Q,  --quote-name

Use C quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=c`

-q,  --hide-control-chars

Replace control characters with '?' if they are not escaped.

--show-control-chars

Show control characters 'as is' if they are not escaped.

--time=field

Show time in <field>: access time (-u): atime, access, use; change time (-t): ctime, status. birth time: birth, creation;

-c

If the long listing format (e.g., -l, -o) is being used, print the status change time (the 'ctime' in the inode) instead of the modification time. When explicitly sorting by time (--sort=time or -t) or when not using a long listing format, sort according to the status change time.

-u

If the long listing format (e.g., -l, -o) is being used, print the status access time instead of the modification time. When explicitly sorting by time (--sort=time or -t) or when not using a long listing format, sort according to the access time.

--hide=PATTERN

do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN (overridden by -a or -A)

-I,  --ignore=PATTERN

do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN

-B,  --ignore-backups

Ignore entries which end with ~.

--sort=field

Sort by <field>: name, none (-U), time (-t), size (-S), extension (-X) or width

[possible values: name, none, time, size, version, extension, width]

-S

Sort by file size, largest first.

-t

Sort by modification time (the 'mtime' in the inode), newest first.

-v

Natural sort of (version) numbers in the filenames.

-X

Sort alphabetically by entry extension.

-U

Do not sort; list the files in whatever order they are stored in the directory.  This is especially useful when listing very large directories, since not doing any sorting can be noticeably faster.

-L,  --dereference

When showing file information for a symbolic link, show information for the file the link references rather than the link itself.

--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir

Do not follow symlinks except when they link to directories and are given as command line arguments.

-H,  --dereference-command-line

Do not follow symlinks except when given as command line arguments.

-G,  --no-group

Do not show group in long format.

--author

Show author in long format. On the supported platforms, the author always matches the file owner.

-a,  --all

Do not ignore hidden files (files with names that start with '.').

-A,  --almost-all

In a directory, do not ignore all file names that start with '.', only ignore '.' and '..'.

-d,  --directory

Only list the names of directories, rather than listing directory contents. This will not follow symbolic links unless one of `--dereference-command-line (-H)`, `--dereference (-L)`, or `--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir` is specified.

-h,  --human-readable

Print human readable file sizes (e.g. 1K 234M 56G).

-k,  --kibibytes

default to 1024-byte blocks for file system usage; used only with -s and per directory totals

--si

Print human readable file sizes using powers of 1000 instead of 1024.

--block-size=BLOCK_SIZE

scale sizes by BLOCK_SIZE when printing them

-i,  --inode

print the index number of each file

-r,  --reverse

Reverse whatever the sorting method is e.g., list files in reverse alphabetical order, youngest first, smallest first, or whatever.

-R,  --recursive

List the contents of all directories recursively.

-w,  --width=COLS

Assume that the terminal is COLS columns wide.

-s,  --size

print the allocated size of each file, in blocks

--color

Color output based on file type.

[possible values: always, auto, never]

--indicator-style

Append indicator with style WORD to entry names: none (default),  slash (-p), file-type (--file-type), classify (-F)

[possible values: none, slash, file-type, classify]

-F,  --classify=when

Append a character to each file name indicating the file type. Also, for regular files that are executable, append '*'. The file type indicators are '/' for directories, '@' for symbolic links, '|' for FIFOs, '=' for sockets, '>' for doors, and nothing for regular files. when may be omitted, or one of: none - Do not classify. This is the default. auto - Only classify if standard output is a terminal. always - Always classify. Specifying --classify and no when is equivalent to --classify=always. This will not follow symbolic links listed on the command line unless the --dereference-command-line (-H), --dereference (-L), or --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir options are specified.

[possible values: always, auto, never]

--file-type

Same as --classify, but do not append '*'

-p

Append / indicator to directories.

--time-style=TIME_STYLE

time/date format with -l; see TIME_STYLE below
May also be specified with the TIME_STYLE environment variable.

--full-time

like -l --time-style=full-iso

-Z,  --context

print any security context of each file

--group-directories-first

group directories before files; can be augmented with a --sort option, but any use of --sort=none (-U) disables grouping

-V,  --version

Print version

[paths]

Extra

The TIME_STYLE argument can be full-iso, long-iso, iso, locale or +FORMAT. FORMAT is interpreted like in date. Also the TIME_STYLE environment variable sets the default style to use.
