LS 01-NOV-80 LS NAME ls - list contents of directory SYNOPSIS ls [-1dnrtv] [pathname] ... DESCRIPTION ls lists information about each file argument. When no argument is given, the default directory is listed. The file arguments may include any of the legal regular expressions described in the man entry for the editor, with the added feature that the comparisons will be case insensitive. By default, the files are listed in the order in which they are found in the directory. There are six options: -1 force single column output to the terminal. The default is multi-column output to the terminal, single to a disk file. -h print a header at the top of verbose listings -n sort the directory by name -v list in verbose format -t sort by time modified (oldest first) -r reverse the sense of the sort As an example of usage of ls, the following command will cause all of the files which contain the string tst anywhere in the file name to be deleted: % ls tst | args rm FILES lstemp1, lstemp2 AUTHOR Joe Sventek wrote ls.
