NAME

fdls− list contents of fast-disk directories

SYNOPSIS

fdls [ −dfloqrst1CFR ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

For each directory argument, fdls lists the contents of the directory; for each file argument, fdls repeats its name and any other information requested.  By default, the output is sorted alphabetically.  When no argument is given, the current directory (see fdcwd(7)) is listed. When several arguments are given, the arguments are first sorted appropriately, but file arguments are processed before directories and their contents.

The options are:

−l List in long format, giving file type, owner, size in bytes, and time of last modification for each file.  (See below.) 

−t Sort by time modified (latest first) instead of by name. 

−s Give size in kilobytes of each file. 

−d If argument is a directory, list only its name; often used with −l to get the status of a directory. 

−r Reverse the order of sort to get reverse alphabetic or oldest first as appropriate. 

−f Force each argument to be interpreted as a directory and list the name found in each slot.  This option turns off −l, −t, −s, and −r; the order is the order in which entries appear in the directory. 

−F cause directories to be marked with a trailing ‘/’. 

−R recursively list subdirectories encountered. 

−1 force one entry per line output format; this is the default when output is not to a terminal. 

−C force multi-column output; this is the default when output is to a terminal. 

−q force printing of non-graphic characters in file names as the character ‘?’; this is the default when output is to a terminal. 

−o Sort by file position within the fast-disk filesystem rather than alphabetically.  The display will include a pair of numbers separated by a hyphen (−); these numbers represent the first and last filesystem blocks occupied by the file.  One block is 4 kilobytes. 

The long listing (given by −l) includes the file-type (− for plain files, d for directories), the owner of the file, the file size in bytes, the creation date, and the name of the file.  When the sizes of the files in a directory are listed, a total count of kilobytes is also printed. 

FILES

/etc/passwd to get user IDs for ‘fdls −l’.

BUGS

Newline and tab are considered printing characters in file names. 

The output device is assumed to be 80 columns wide.
