Add the -r option to reverse this (i.e., ls -lSr). Notice that the default is to show the largest files first. When listing files by size, it's generally helpful to see that the command is doing what you asked. Note, however, that this won't actually show you the sizes (along with other file details) unless you also add the -l (long listing) option. If you want to list files in size order, add the -S option. You will get a listing like this one: $ ls -d */ġ/ backups/ modules/ projects/ templates/ If you want to list only directories, you can use the -d option. Listing directories onlyīy default, the ls command will show both files and directories. For example, it will list files without extensions first (in alphanumeric order) followed by files with extensions like. If you add the -X option, ls will sort files by name within each extension category. There is, however, a command option that can list files by extension. The ls command doesn’t analyze file types by content, but works with file names. This will be like turning the normal listing upside down. To reverse the listing of files by name, add the -r (reverse) option. Pipe the output of ls to the more command if you want to review your listing a screenful at a time. rw-rw-r- 1 shs shs 284003 Aesthetics_Thank_You.pdf You can choose the ls (no details) or ls -l (lots of details) to determine your view. Listing files by name (alphanumeric order) is, after all, the default. The hidden file is still listed, but the “.” and “.” entries are suppressed.The easiest way to list files by name is simply to list them using the ls command. If you don’t want your listing cluttered up with the “.” and “.” entries, but you do want to see hidden files, use the -A (almost all) option: ls -l -A A file called “.base_settings” is now visible for the first time. The two entries “.” and “.” represent the current directory and the parent directory, respectively. To see hidden files, use the -a (all) option: ls -l -a To see the file sizes in the most appropriate units (Kilobytes, Megabytes, etc.) use the -h (human-readable) option: ls -l -h Having the file sizes in bytes is not always convenient. They are followed by the file size and the date of the last modification of the file. The name of the owner and group are displayed next. If this is set, regardless of the write and executable privileges that are set on the files in the directory, only the file owner, the directory owner, or the root user can rename or delete files in the directory. The execution permission for the others can sometimes be represented by a t. When used with a directory, any files created inside it will take their group permissions from the directory they’re being created in, not from the user who is creating the file. When this is applied to a file, it means the file will be executed with the privileges of the ower’s group. The execution permission for the group can also be an s. If it is present, it means that the file is executed with the privileges of the file owner, not the user executing the file. ![]() Sometimes the execution permission for the owner is represented by an s. The second set of three permissions are for group members, and the last set of three permissions is for others. The first set of three characters are the permissions for the file owner. ![]()
