Explain out put of the ls-l command?

Answer 1

If you mean the ls command in linux/unix, it is the command to list the contents of a directory. A 'ls -l' will display the complete information including the permissions, owners, size and when last modified in date and time.

e.g.

root\usr\sample $ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Nov 26 2007 sample.txt

root\usr\sample $ ll

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Nov 26 2007 sample.txt

root\usr\sample $ ls

sample.txt

The output of the ls -l and ll command is in the following format. First of the 10 characters shows the type of the item (directory/file/link etc) and the remaining shows the permissions of root, user and group. Next is the number of directories, next is group to which the item belongs, next size of the dirctory/file, next the date on which the directory/file was last modified and the directory/file name.

Answer 2

ls command, by itself, will list all of the files and directories in the current directory. It is similar to the dir command in DOS. You can type 'man ls' to get the manual for for all of the options for ls. One that's good to know is 'ls -al' which gives the file listing with all the permission bits, as well as file size and type (directory, link, etc.)

man ls
