From: sweet%kelvin@s3dawn.ARPA (Kevin Sweet)
This is a public domain implementation of the `ls' routine command
similar to the one available under 4.xBSD.
It was written by Kevin Sweet and released to the public domain 1988.
(This manual by Rahul Dhesi, obtained by slightly revising the
electronic message that accompanied this software.)
This software was written using the Turbo C v1.5(c) compiler under
MS-DOS v3.3(c). The syntax is nearly identical with that found on UNIX
systems with the exception that options that do not apply in an MSDOS
environment are not supported, directory entry sizes are not reported,
and three new options have been added (PSZ). In addition, two compile
time options exist (SIZE_CL, DOT_AL-- see comment in source code).
compile with: tcc -ms -f- -Z -O -G -k -N ls
ls - list the contents of a directory in alphabetical order
usage: ls [-1CFPRSZadflrst] name ...
options:
-1 list in one column format
-C list in multi-column format (default)
-F directories are marked with a trailing '\', system files are marked
with a trailing '@' and executable files are marked with a trailing '*'
-P print the directory name before listing
-R recursively list subdirectories
-S sort by file size in bytes (cluster size if option 's' is selected)
-Z list full pathnames in one column for input to Zoo
-a list all entries including hidden and system files
-d list directories as if they were a normal file
-f do not sort (list in the order files appear in the directory)
-l list in long format ([size in clusters,] mode, size, date, name)
-r reverse the order of the selected sort
-s list the file size in clusters
-t sort by time
ls parses the environment variable LS for options before parsing the
command line. Options may be turned off with a trailing '-' (e.g.
"ls -1F-s" turns on the '1' and 's' options and turns off the 'F'
option).
