L(C) UNIX System V
Name
l - lists information about contents of directory
Syntax

Description
For each directory argument, l lists the contents of the
directory. For each name, l repeats its name and other
requested information. The output is sorted alphabetically
by default. When no argument is given, the current
directory is listed. When several arguments are given, the
arguments are first sorted appropriately, but file arguments
appear before directories and their contents. Information
is listed in the format of the ``ls -l'' command, which is
identical to the l command. This format and all provided
switches are described in ls(C) and lc(C), to which should
you should refer for a complete discussion of the
capabilities of l.
Files
/etc/passwd Contains user IDs
/etc/group Contains group IDs
Notes
Newline and tab are considered printing characters in
filenames.
The output device is assumed to be 80 columns wide.
