.TH HLS 1 14-Jan-1997 HFSUTILS .SH NAME hls \- list files in an HFS directory .SH SYNOPSIS hls .RI [ options ] .RI [ hfs-path .RI ...] .SH DESCRIPTION .B hls lists files and directories contained in an HFS volume. If one or more arguments are given, each specified file or directory is shown; otherwise, the contents of the current working directory are shown. .SH OPTIONS .TP -1 Output is formatted such that each entry appears on a single line. This is the default when stdout is not a terminal. .TP -a All files and directories are shown, including "invisible" files, as would be perceived by the Macintosh Finder. Normally invisible files are omitted from directory listings. .TP -b Special characters are displayed in an escaped backslash notation. Normally special or non-printable characters in filenames are replaced by a question mark (?). .TP -c Sort and display entries by their creation date, rather than their modification date. .TP -d List directory entries themselves rather than their contents. Normally the contents are shown for named directories on the command-line. .TP -f Do not sort directory contents; list them in the order they appear in the directory. This option effectively enables -a and -U and disables -l, -s, and -t. .TP -i Show the catalog IDs for each entry. Every file and directory on an HFS volume has a unique catalog ID. .TP -l Display entries in long format. This format shows the entry type ("d" for directory or "f" for file), flags ("i" for invisible), file type and creator (four-character strings for files only), size (number of directory sub-contents or file resource and data bytes, respectively), date of last modification (or creation, with -c flag), and pathname. Macintosh "locked" files are indicated by "F" in place of "f". .TP -m Display entries in a continuous format separated by commas. .TP -q Replace special and non-printable characters in displayed filenames with question marks (?). This is the default when stdout is connected to a terminal. .TP -r Sort entries in reverse order before displaying. .TP -s Show the file size for each entry in 1K block units. The size includes blocks used for both data and resource forks. .TP -t Sort and display entries by time. Normally files will be sorted by name. This option uses the last modification date to sort unless -c is also specified. .TP -x Display entries in column format like -C, but sorted horizontally into rows rather than columns. .TP .RI "-w " width Format output lines suitable for display in the given .IR width . Normally the width will be determined from your terminal, from the environment variable COLUMNS, or from a default value of 80. .TP -C Display entries in column format with entries sorted vertically. This is the default output format when stdout is connected to a terminal. .TP -F Cause certain output filenames to be followed by a single-character flag indicating the nature of the entry; directories are followed by a colon (:) and executable Macintosh applications are followed by an asterisk (*). .TP -N Cause all filenames to be output verbatim without any escaping or question-mark substitution. .TP -Q Cause all filenames to be enclosed within double-quotes (") and special/non-printable characters to be properly escaped. .TP -R For each directory that is encountered in a listing, recursively descend into and display its contents. .TP -S Sort and display entries by size. For files, the combined resource and data lengths are used to compute a file's size. .TP -U Do not sort directory contents; list them in the order they appear in the directory. On HFS volumes, this is usually an alphabetical case-insensitive ordering, although there are some idiosyncrasies to the Macintosh implementation of ordering. This option does not affect -a, -l, or -s. .SH SEE ALSO hfsutils(1), hcd(1), hpwd(1), hdir(1), hcopy(1) .SH FILES $HOME/.hcwd .SH AUTHOR Robert Leslie
