LD (LIST_DIRECTORY) -- List contents of a directory.
usage: LD [pathname...] [-LD |-LF |-LL] [-LT] [-D |-DTC |-DTM |-DTU]
[ [-A | [-ATTR] [-BL] [-LEN] [-R] [-ST] [-TU]] [[-SI | [-AB] [-CONC]

FORMAT
LD [pathname...] [options]
LD lists the objects in a directory on standard output. It provides a wide
variety of information on the contents of the various objects, depending on
the command options that you select.
ARGUMENT
pathname
(optional) Specify pathname of object to be described. The object
may be a directory, a file, or a link. If you specify a
directory, LD describes the files in that directory. If
you specify a file, the attributes of that file are
reported. Multiple pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.
(If they are used, each name is assumed to be a filename.)
Default if omitted: list contents of working directory.
OPTIONS
("(D)" indicates defaults.)
ATTRIBUTES
-A Display all attributes.
-ATTR Display permanent/immutable/trouble flags.
-BL Display disk blocks used.
-LEN Display current length in bytes.
-R Display your access rights to entries.
-ST Display system object type.
-TU Display type UIDs.
DATE AND TIME
-D Display creation, modified, and last used dates.
-DTC Display date/time created.
-DTM Display date/time last modified.
-DTU Display date/time last used.
STREAMS
-SI Display all stream header information.
-AB Display streams ASCII/binary flag.
-CONC Display streams object concurrency.
-RT Display streams record type.
ENTRY SELECTION
-AF d Display entries modified after date and time "d".
-BE d Display entries modified before date and time "d".
-DI Treat all names as directory names and list the contents of
those directories.
-EN Treat all names as entry names.
-LD (D) List directory names. If this option is specified, then -LF
and -LL lose their default status, and must be specified
explicitly, if desired.
-LF (D) List file names. If this option is specified, then -LD and
-LL lose their default status, and must be specified
explicitly, if desired.
-LL (D) List link names. If this option is specified, then -LD and
-LF lose their default status, and must be specified
explicitly, if desired.
-LT Display link resolution names.
OUTPUT CONTROL
-C List entries in a single column, suppress header.
-HD (D) Display header and totals.
-NHD Suppress header and totals.
-SN (D) Sort entries by name.
-NSN Suppress entry sorting.
-WARN (D) Produce a warning if no wildcard matches are found.
-NWARN Suppress warning if no wildcard matches are found.
LD uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard command
options with the exception of the query options (-QA, -NQ, -QW).
Type HELP CL for more information.
TIME
The time at which a file is created, modified, or used is accurate within a
certain tolerance. The reported time of creation or modification is correct
within one minute of the actual creation or modification time. The time of
last use is updated only if more than an hour has elapsed since the recorded
time of last use. Hence the time of last use reported by the LD command may
vary by as much as an hour from the actual time of last use.
