LS LS
NAME
ls
SYNOPSIS
ls [-adFflnpRrst] [path]...
ls -h
DESCRIPTION
ls is a small, fast, full-featured utility for listing the
contents of directories and displaying information about
selected files.
Target files may be specified either by specific pathname,
pathnames with wild cards in the trailing part of the pat or a
directory. If no target is specified, the current directory
is listed.
The output is normally sorted in multiple columns with
directories displayed in red. When directed to a file, or a
pipe, the output is displayed one name to a line.
OPTIONS
-a causes ls to list all files. Normally ls does not
list files for which the HIDDEN protection bit is
set.
-C forces ls to generate a multicolumn display even if
output is redirected to a file or pipe.
-d causes ls to list directories only.
-F causes ls to append a slash (/) to directory names
(so OnePlane users & color blind can distinguish dirs
from plain files).
-f causes ls to list files only.
-l generates a long listing. The additional information
includes the file protection-bit settings, size and
time and date of last modification.
-n no sort; list files in ExNext() order.
-p lists file path, either absolute or relative depending
on the path specification on the command line. This
can then be used as a file-name feeder to other
programs, e.g. zoo. The -p option forces a single-
column listing and also suppressed headings and
totals.
-R generates a recursive subdirectory listing.
LS LS
-r reverses the sort order that has otherwise been
specified.
-s causes the list to be sorted by size, with the
largest files first.
-t causes the list to be sorted in chronological order,
with the most recent files first.
-h causes a usage message to be printed.
NOTES
ls may be made resident either by rez, by the c:Resident
command, or by the wshell resi command. Since it was linked
with the Lattice cres.o module, rez thinks it is not shareable.
DIAGNOSTICS
If no files are found matching all criteria, ls returns
WARN; if at any time ls is unable to allocate memory, ls
returns FAIL.
