DESCRIPTION
List directory contents. Ignore files and directories starting with a '.' by default

OPTIONS

--help
    Print help information.

--format
    Set the display format.

-C  Display the files in columns.

-l, --long
    Display detailed information.

-x  List entries in rows instead of in columns.

-T, --tabsize=COLS
    Assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8 (unimplemented)
    May also be specified with the TABSIZE environment variable.

-m  List entries separated by commas.

--zero
    List entries separated by ASCII NUL characters.

-1  List one file per line.

-o  Long format without group information. Identical to --format=long with --no-group.

-g  Long format without owner information.

-n, --numeric-uid-gid
    -l with numeric UIDs and GIDs.

--quoting-style
    Set quoting style.
    [possible values: literal, shell, shell-always, shell-escape, shell-escape-always, c, escape]

-N, --literal
    Use literal quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=literal`

-b, --escape
    Use escape quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=escape`

-Q, --quote-name
    Use C quoting style. Equivalent to `--quoting-style=c`

-q, --hide-control-chars
    Replace control characters with '?' if they are not escaped.

--show-control-chars
    Show control characters 'as is' if they are not escaped.

--time=field
    Show time in <field>:
        access time (-u): atime, access, use;
        change time (-t): ctime, status.
        birth time: birth, creation;

-c  If the long listing format (e.g., -l, -o) is being used, print the status change time (the 'ctime' in the inode) instead of the modification time. When explicitly sorting by time (--sort=time or -t) or when not using a long listing format, sort according to the status change time.

-u  If the long listing format (e.g., -l, -o) is being used, print the status access time instead of the modification time. When explicitly sorting by time (--sort=time or -t) or when not using a long listing format, sort according to the access time.

--hide=PATTERN
    do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN (overridden by -a or -A)

-I, --ignore=PATTERN
    do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN

-B, --ignore-backups
    Ignore entries which end with ~.

--sort=field
    Sort by <field>: name, none (-U), time (-t), size (-S) or extension (-X)
    [possible values: name, none, time, size, version, extension]

-S  Sort by file size, largest first.

-t  Sort by modification time (the 'mtime' in the inode), newest first.

-v  Natural sort of (version) numbers in the filenames.

-X  Sort alphabetically by entry extension.

-U  Do not sort; list the files in whatever order they are stored in the directory. This is especially useful when listing very large directories, since not doing any sorting can be noticeably faster.

-L, --dereference
    When showing file information for a symbolic link, show information for the file the link references rather than the link itself.

--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir
    Do not dereference symlinks except when they link to directories and are given as command line arguments.

-H, --dereference-command-line
    Do not dereference symlinks except when given as command line arguments.

-G, --no-group
    Do not show group in long format.

--author
    Show author in long format. On the supported platforms, the author always matches the file owner.

-a, --all
    Do not ignore hidden files (files with names that start with '.').

-A, --almost-all
    In a directory, do not ignore all file names that start with '.', only ignore '.' and '..'.

-d, --directory
    Only list the names of directories, rather than listing directory contents. This will not follow symbolic links unless one of `--dereference-command-line (-H)`, `--dereference (-L)`, or `--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir` is specified.

-h, --human-readable
    Print human readable file sizes (e.g. 1K 234M 56G).

-k, --kibibytes
    default to 1024-byte blocks for file system usage; used only with -s and per directory totals

--si
    Print human readable file sizes using powers of 1000 instead of 1024.

--block-size=BLOCK_SIZE
    scale sizes by BLOCK_SIZE when printing them

-i, --inode
    print the index number of each file

-r, --reverse
    Reverse whatever the sorting method is e.g., list files in reverse alphabetical order, youngest first, smallest first, or whatever.

-R, --recursive
    List the contents of all directories recursively.

-w, --width=COLS
    Assume that the terminal is COLS columns wide.

-s, --size
    print the allocated size of each file, in blocks

--color
    Color output based on file type.
    [possible values: always, yes, force, auto, tty, if-tty, never, no, none]

--indicator-style
    Append indicator with style WORD to entry names: none (default), slash (-p), file-type (--file-type), classify (-F)
    [possible values: none, slash, file-type, classify]

-F, --classify=when
    Append a character to each file name indicating the file type. Also, for regular files that are executable, append '*'. The file type indicators are '/' for directories, '@' for symbolic links, '|' for FIFOs, '=' for sockets, '>' for doors, and nothing for regular files. when may be omitted, or one of:
        none - Do not classify. This is the default.
        auto - Only classify if standard output is a terminal.
        always - Always classify. Specifying --classify and no when is equivalent to --classify=always. This will not follow symbolic links listed on the command line unless the --dereference-command-line (-H), --dereference (-L), or --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir options are specified.
    [possible values: always, yes, force, auto, tty, if-tty, never, no, none]

--file-type
    Same as --classify, but do not append '*'

-p  Append / indicator to directories.

--time-style=TIME_STYLE
    time/date format with -l; see TIME_STYLE below
    May also be specified with the TIME_STYLE environment variable.

--full-time
    like -l --time-style=full-iso

-Z, --context
    print any security context of each file (not enabled)

--group-directories-first
    group directories before files; can be augmented with a --sort option, but any use of --sort=none (-U) disables grouping

-V, --version
    Print version

[paths]

EXTRA
The TIME_STYLE argument can be full-iso, long-iso, iso, locale or +FORMAT. FORMAT is interpreted like in date. Also the TIME_STYLE environment variable sets the default style to use.
