For each operand

For each operand 

    that names a 

 file

 of a type other than directory,

            ls displays

 its name 

     as well as 

 any requested,

 associated

 information.



	  For each operand

 that

 	names

 a file of type directory,

 	ls

	 displays

        the names

     of files contained

  within

 that directory,

           as well as

    any requested,

  asso-ciated

information.



If no

     operands

  are given,

      the contents

 of

 the current directory

      are

displayed.

 If more than

         one

     operand is given,

  non-directory operands are displayed

       first;

 directory

        and

 non-directory operands

    are sorted

                   separately

 and in lexicographical order.

  By default,

  ls

     lists one entry per line

  to standard output;

the exceptions

 are to

 terminals or when the -C option

 is specified.



File information

     is displayed

 with one or more s

        separating the

 information 

     associated with the 

    -i, 

    -s, and 

    -I options. 

 If the -I option

is given, 

  the following information 

     is displayed 

for each file: 

    file mode,

    number of links, 

    owner name, 

    group name, 

    number of bytes in the file,

    abbreviated month, 

    day-of-month file was last modified, 

    hour file last modified, 

    minute file last modified, 

    and the pathname.



       In addition, for

each directory 

     whose contents are 

 displayed, 

  the total number of 

    512-byte

blocks 

   used 

       by the 

  files in the directory 

 is displayed 

     on 

a line by 

      itself

immediately before the information 

     for the files in the 

directory.
