NAME¶
vdir - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS¶
vdir [
OPTION]... [
FILE]...
DESCRIPTION¶
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort
entries alphabetically if none of
-cftuvSUX nor
--sort is
specified.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
- -a, --all
- do not ignore entries starting with .
- -A, --almost-all
- do not list implied . and ..
- --author
- with -l, print the author of each file
- -b, --escape
- print C-style escapes for nongraphic characters
- --block-size=SIZE
- scale sizes by SIZE before printing them. E.g.,
`--block-size=M' prints sizes in units of 1,048,576 bytes. See SIZE format
below.
- -B, --ignore-backups
- do not list implied entries ending with ~
- -c
- with -lt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last
modification of file status information) with -l: show ctime and
sort by name otherwise: sort by ctime, newest first
- -C
- list entries by columns
- --color[=WHEN]
- colorize the output. WHEN defaults to `always' or can be
`never' or `auto'. More info below
- -d, --directory
- list directory entries instead of contents, and do not
dereference symbolic links
- -D, --dired
- generate output designed for Emacs' dired mode
- -f
- do not sort, enable -aU, disable -ls
--color
- -F, --classify
- append indicator (one of */=>@|) to entries
- --file-type
- likewise, except do not append `*'
- --format=WORD
- across -x, commas -m, horizontal -x,
long -l, single-column -1, verbose -l, vertical
-C
- --full-time
- like -l --time-style=full-iso
- -g
- like -l, but do not list owner
- --group-directories-first
- group directories before files.
- augment with a --sort option, but any use of
--sort= none (-U) disables grouping
- -G, --no-group
- in a long listing, don't print group names
- -h, --human-readable
- with -l, print sizes in human readable format (e.g.,
1K 234M 2G)
- --si
- likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
- -H, --dereference-command-line
- follow symbolic links listed on the command line
- --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir
- follow each command line symbolic link that points to a
directory
- --hide=PATTERN
- do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN
(overridden by -a or -A)
- --indicator-style=WORD
- append indicator with style WORD to entry names: none
(default), slash ( -p), file-type ( --file-type), classify
(-F)
- -i, --inode
- print the index number of each file
- -I, --ignore=PATTERN
- do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN
- -k
- like --block-size=1K
- -l
- use a long listing format
- -L, --dereference
- when showing file information for a symbolic link, show
information for the file the link references rather than for the link
itself
- -m
- fill width with a comma separated list of entries
- -n, --numeric-uid-gid
- like -l, but list numeric user and group IDs
- -N, --literal
- print raw entry names (don't treat e.g. control characters
specially)
- -o
- like -l, but do not list group information
- -p, --indicator-style=slash
- append / indicator to directories
- -q, --hide-control-chars
- print ? instead of non graphic characters
- --show-control-chars
- show non graphic characters as-is (default unless program
is `ls' and output is a terminal)
- -Q, --quote-name
- enclose entry names in double quotes
- --quoting-style=WORD
- use quoting style WORD for entry names: literal, locale,
shell, shell-always, c, escape
- -r, --reverse
- reverse order while sorting
- -R, --recursive
- list subdirectories recursively
- -s, --size
- print the allocated size of each file, in blocks
- -S
- sort by file size
- --sort=WORD
- sort by WORD instead of name: none -U, extension
-X, size -S, time -t, version -v
- --time=WORD
- with -l, show time as WORD instead of modification
time: atime -u, access -u, use -u, ctime -c,
or status -c; use specified time as sort key if
--sort=time
- --time-style=STYLE
- with -l, show times using style STYLE: full-iso,
long-iso, iso, locale, +FORMAT. FORMAT is interpreted like `date'; if
FORMAT is FORMAT1<newline>FORMAT2, FORMAT1 applies to non-recent
files and FORMAT2 to recent files; if STYLE is prefixed with `posix-',
STYLE takes effect only outside the POSIX locale
- -t
- sort by modification time, newest first
- -T, --tabsize=COLS
- assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8
- -u
- with -lt: sort by, and show, access time with
-l: show access time and sort by name otherwise: sort by access
time
- -U
- do not sort; list entries in directory order
- -v
- natural sort of (version) numbers within text
- -w, --width=COLS
- assume screen width instead of current value
- -x
- list entries by lines instead of by columns
- -X
- sort alphabetically by entry extension
- -Z, --context
- print any SELinux security context of each file
- -1
- list one file per line
- --help
- display this help and exit
- --version
- output version information and exit
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: KB
1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
Using color to distinguish file types is disabled both by default and with
--color=
never. With
--color=
auto, ls emits color
codes only when standard output is connected to a terminal. The LS_COLORS
environment variable can change the settings. Use the dircolors command to set
it.
Exit status:¶
- 0
- if OK,
- 1
- if minor problems (e.g., cannot access subdirectory),
- 2
- if serious trouble (e.g., cannot access command-line
argument).
