              with -l, print the author of each file
       -b, --escape
              print C-style escapes for nongraphic characters
       --block-size=SIZE
              with  -l,  scale  sizes  by  SIZE  when  printing  them;   e.g.,
              '--block-size=M'; see SIZE format below
       -B, --ignore-backups
              do not list implied entries ending with ~

       -C     list entries by columns
       --color[=WHEN]
              colorize  the output; WHEN can be 'always' (default if omitted),

       -d, --directory
              list directories themselves, not their contents
       -D, --dired
              generate output designed for Emacs' dired mode

              --sort=none (-U) disables grouping
       -G, --no-group
              in a long listing, don't print group names

       --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
              specified time as sort key if --sort=time (newest first)
       --time-style=TIME_STYLE
              time/date format with -l; see TIME_STYLE below
       -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, newest
              first
       -U     do not sort; list entries in directory order
       -v     natural sort of (version) numbers within text
       -w, --width=COLS
              set output width to COLS.  0 means no limit
       -x     list entries by lines instead of by columns
       -X     sort alphabetically by entry extension
       -Z, --context
              print any security context of each file
       -1     list one file per line.  Avoid '\n' with -q or -b
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       The SIZE argument is an integer and  optional  unit  (example:  10K  is
       10*1024).   Units  are  K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y  (powers  of 1024) or KB,MB,...
       (powers of 1000).
       The TIME_STYLE argument can be  full-iso,  long-iso,  iso,  locale,  or
       +FORMAT.   FORMAT  is  interpreted  like in date(1).  If FORMAT is FOR-
       MAT1<newline>FORMAT2, then FORMAT1 applies to non-recent files and FOR-
       MAT2  to  recent files.  TIME_STYLE prefixed with 'posix-' takes effect
       only outside the POSIX locale.  Also the TIME_STYLE  environment  vari-
       able sets the default style to use.
       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).
