                     12: The command ls  prints information about each file.  Normally, ls
                     13: sorts its  output by file name  and prints only the  name of each
                     14: file.  If a directory name is  given as an argument, ls sorts and
                     15: lists its  contents, not including  `.' and `..'.  If  no file is
                     16: named, ls lists the contents of the current directory.
                     17: 
                     18: The following options control  how ls sorts and displays its out-
                     19: put.
                     20: 
                     21: -aa   Print all directory entries, including `.', `..', any hidden
                     22:      files, and volume ID's.
                     23: 
                     24: -cc   Sort by the time the files' attributes were last changed.
                     25: 
                     26: -dd   Treat directories as if they were files.
                     27: 
                     28: -ff   Force each argument to be treated as a directory.  This dis-
                     29:      ables  the -lrst  options and  sorting,  and enables  the -a
                     30:      option.
                     31: 
                     32: -gg   Display  group list rather  than user ls of  owner; only ap-
                     33:      plicable with -l.
                     34: 
                     35: -ii   Print the i-number of each file.
                     36: 
                     37: -ll    Print information  in long  format.   The fields  give mode
                     38:      bits, link count, owner uid, owner gid, size in bytes, date,
                     39:      and  file  name.  For special files,  major and minor device
                     40:      numbers replace the size field.
                     41: 
                     42: -rr   Reverse the sense of the sort.
                     43:

                     49: 
                     50: -uu   Sort by the access time.
                     51: 
                     52: The date ls prints with the -l and -t options is the modification
                     53: time, unless the -c or -u option is used as well.
