-u lists files' last access time instead of their last modified time.-R recursively list files in subdirectories and their subdirectories вЂ¦.-1 (one) force output to be one entry per line.-t sort the list of files by modification time.Useful for directories containing large numbers of files. ДЄdditional options controlling how files are displayed include: (e.g., 1K, 234M, 2G, etc.) This option is not part of the POSIX standard, although implemented in several systems, e.g., GNU coreutils in 1997, FreeBSD 4.5 in 2002, and Solaris 9 in 2002. -h output sizes in human readable format.-d shows information about a symbolic link or directory, rather than about the link's target or listing the contents of a directory.-o display owner but not group (when combined with -g both group and owner are suppressed).

-F append a '/' to directory names and a '*' to executable files.

-l long format, displaying Unix file types, permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size, last-modified date and filename.

The most common options to display additional information are: Without options, ls displays files names only. If another directory is specified, then ls will list the files there, and in fact the user may specify any list of files and directories to be listed.ДЇiles names starting with '.' are not listed unless -a (show all) is specified, -A (show all except '.' and '.') is specified, or the files are specified explicitly. When invoked without any arguments, ls lists the files in the current working directory. Unix and Unix-like operating systems maintain the idea of a current working directory, that is, where one is currently positioned in the hierarchy of directories.

The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. The version of ls bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.

Both are free software and open source, and have only minor syntax differences. Today, the two popular versions of ls are the one provided with the GNU coreutils package, and that released by various BSD variants. ДЄn ls command is also part of ASCII's MSX-DOS2 Tools for MSX-DOS version 2. It was inherited into the first version of POSIX.1 and the Single Unix Specification. ls is part of the X/Open Portability Guide since issue 2 of 1987. An ls utility appeared in the first version of AT&T UNIX, the name inherited from a similar command in Multics also named 'ls', short for the word 'list'.
