NAME
       ls - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS
       ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
       List  information  about  the FILEs (the current directory by default).
       Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort  is  speci-
       fied.
       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.
       -a, --all
              do not ignore entries starting with .
       -A, --almost-all
              do not list implied . and ..
       --author
              with -l, print the author of each file
       -b, --escape
              print C-style escapes for nongraphic characters
       --block-size=SIZE
              scale sizes by SIZE before printing them; e.g., '--block-size=M'
              prints sizes in units of 1,048,576 bytes; see SIZE format below
       -B, --ignore-backups
              do not list implied entries ending with ~
       -c     with -lt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last modification of
              file status information); with -l: show ctime and sort by  name;
              otherwise: sort by ctime, newest first
       -C     list entries by columns
       --color[=WHEN]
              colorize  the  output;  WHEN can be 'never', 'auto', or 'always'
              (the default); more info below
       -d, --directory
              list directories themselves, not their contents
       -D, --dired
              generate output designed for Emacs' dired mode
       -f     do not sort, enable -aU, disable -ls --color

       -g     like -l, but do not list owner
       --group-directories-first
              group directories before files;
              can   be  augmented  with  a  --sort  option,  but  any  use  of
              --sort=none (-U) disables grouping
       -G, --no-group
              in a long listing, don't print group names
       -h, --human-readable
              with -l, print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

              that points to a directory

       -k, --kibibytes
              default to 1024-byte blocks for disk usage
       -l     use a long listing format
       -L, --dereference
              when showing file information for a symbolic link, show informa-

       -m     fill width with a comma separated list of entries
       -n, --numeric-uid-gid
              like -l, but list numeric user and group IDs

       -S     sort by file size
       --sort=WORD

              version (-v), extension (-X)
       --time=WORD
              with -l, show time as WORD instead of default modification time:
              atime or access or use (-u) ctime or status (-c); also use spec-
              ified time as sort key if --sort=time
       --time-style=STYLE
              with -l, show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso,  iso,
              locale,  or  +FORMAT;  FORMAT  is interpreted like in 'date'; if
              FORMAT  is  FORMAT1<newline>FORMAT2,  then  FORMAT1  applies  to
              non-recent  files  and FORMAT2 to recent files; if STYLE is pre-
              fixed with 'posix-', STYLE takes effect only outside  the  POSIX
              locale
       -t     sort by modification time, newest first
       -T, --tabsize=COLS
              assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8
       -u     with  -lt:  sort by, and show, access time; with -l: show access
              time and sort by name; otherwise: sort by access time
       -U     do not sort; list entries in directory order
       -v     natural sort of (version) numbers within text
       -w, --width=COLS
              assume screen width instead of current value
       -x     list entries by lines instead of by columns
       -X     sort alphabetically by entry extension
       -1     list one file per line
       SELinux options:
       --lcontext
              Display security context.   Enable -l. Lines  will  probably  be
              too wide for most displays.
       -Z, --context
              Display  security context so it fits on most displays.  Displays
              only mode, user, group, security context and file name.
       --scontext
              Display only security context and file name.
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example:  10M  is  10*1024*1024).
       Units  are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ... (pow-
       ers of 1000).
       Using color to distinguish file types is disabled both by  default  and
       with  --color=never.  With --color=auto, ls emits color codes only when
       standard output is connected to a terminal.  The LS_COLORS  environment
       variable can change the settings.  Use the dircolors command to set it.
   Exit status:
       0      if OK,
       1      if minor problems (e.g., cannot access subdirectory),
       2      if serious trouble (e.g., cannot access command-line argument).
