According to man find
:
-ls
True; list current file in ls -dils format on standard output. The block counts are of 1K blocks, unless the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are used. See the UNUSUAL FILENAMES section for information about how unusual characters in filenames are handled.
I don't understand the ls -dils
part.
man ls
has "-d list directories themselves, not their contents".
Consider a folder with three .png files:
$ ls
01-default.png 02-jungle.png 03-snow.png
$
I get
$ find . -type f -ls
12983011 28 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 25964 Mar 10 17:28 ./01-default.png
12982994 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 21857 Mar 10 17:28 ./03-snow.png
12983031 28 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 25964 Mar 10 17:28 ./02-jungle.png
$
But, if the -ls
means the same as ls -dils
, I should see something similar with ls -dils
but all I get is
$ ls -dils
13631944 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 dkb dkb 4096 Aug 30 21:22 .
$
Whereas, ls -ils
is more like what I get with find
used with -ls
:
$ ls -ils
total 80
12983011 28 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 25964 Mar 10 17:28 01-default.png
12983031 28 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 25964 Mar 10 17:28 02-jungle.png
12982994 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dkb dkb 21857 Mar 10 17:28 03-snow.png
$
So I was wondering if there's a typo in the man find
page and whether ls -dils
should really be ls ils
in the part I quoted at the top of the question.
