Linux-linux ls Command parameters detailed

-a-(All). Lists all the files in the directory, including hidden files (. filename). Located at the beginning of this list: And. In turn, it refers to the parent directory and your current directory.
-L-Length (long). Lists the details of the contents of the directory, including permissions (mode), owner, group, size, creation date, whether the file is a link to other parts of the system, and links to the link.
The file type-f-. Add a symbol after each list of items. These symbols include:/indicate is a directory; @ indicates a symbolic link to another file; * indicates an executable file.
-r-reverse (reverse). Lists the contents of the directory from the back to the front.
-r-recursion (Recursive). This option recursively enumerates the contents of all directories (under the current directory).
-s-size. Sort by file size. The LS command is the most commonly used command under Linux. The LS command is the abbreviation for list. LS is used to print out the list of current directories if LS specifies a different directory then the list of files and folders in the specified directory will be displayed. The LS command not only allows you to view the files contained in a Linux folder but also to view file permissions (including directories, folders, file permissions) to view directory information, and so on. The LS command is used in a lot of everyday Linux operations!

1. Command format:

ls [options] [directory name]

2. Command function:

Lists all subdirectories and files in the destination directory.

3. Common parameters:

4. Common examples:

Example one: List the details of all files and directories under the/home/peidachang folder

Command: Ls-l-r/home/peidachang
When using the LS command, pay attention to the format of the command: At the command prompt, the first is the command keyword, followed by the command parameters, before the command parameters to have a short line "-", all the command parameters have a specific role, you can choose one or more parameters according to the need, After the command argument is the action object of the command. In the above command "Ls-l-r/home/peidachang", "LS" is the command keyword, "-l-r" is a parameter, "/home/peidachang" is the action object of the command. In this command, two parameters are used, respectively "L" and "R", and of course, you can also put them together, as shown below:
Command: Ls-lr/home/peidachang
This form is exactly the same as the result of the above command form execution. In addition, if the Operation object of the command is located in the current directory, the Operation object can be manipulated directly, if not in the current directory you need to give the full path of the action object, for example, in the example above, my current folder is the Peidachang folder, I want to operate the Peidachang file under the home folder, I can enter the LS-LR Peidachang directly, or I can use Ls-lr/home/peidachang.

Example two: Listing the details of all directories in the current directory that begin with "T", you can use the following command:

Command: Ls-l t*
You can view information for all files in the current directory that have a file name that begins with "T". In fact, in the command format, the contents of the square brackets can be omitted, for the command LS, if you omit the command parameters and Operation object, directly enter "LS", will be listed in the current working directory of the Content list.

Example three: Listing only subdirectories under a file

Command: ls-f/opt/soft |grep/$
List the subdirectories below the/opt/soft file
Output:

Copy the code code as follows: [[email protected] opt]# ls-f/opt/soft |grep/$
jdk1.6.0_16/
Subversion-1.6.1/
tomcat6.0.32/

Command: Ls-l/opt/soft | grep "^d"
Lists the subdirectory details under the/opt/soft file
Output:

Copy the code code as follows: [Roo[email protected] opt]# ls-l/opt/soft | grep "^d"
Drwxr-xr-x root root 4096 09-17 18:17 jdk1.6.0_16

Drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 2011-11-01 tomcat6.0.32

Example four: List the current working directory of all the names are the beginning of the file, the newer the new row, you can use the following command:

Command: Ls-ltr s*
Output:

[Email protected] opt]# LS-AF
log/script/soft/src/svndata/web/
Example six: Calculating the number of files and directories in the current directory

/opt/log
/opt/script
/opt/soft
/opt/src
/opt/svndata
/opt/web

Example nine: Lists the absolute path to all files (including hidden files) under the current directory, and does not recursively

Command: Find $PWD-maxdepth 1 | Xargs Ls-ld

Extended:

1. Display a list of color catalogs
Open/ETC/BASHRC and add the following line:
Alias ls= "Ls–color"
The next time you start bash, you'll be able to display a list of colored catalogs as you would in Slackware, where the meanings of colors are as follows:
1. Blue –> Directory
2. Green –> executable file
3. Red –> Compressed file
4. Light blue –> link file
5. Grey –> Other files
