kls(1) - Linux man page

Name

kls - Krause's ls clone

Synopsis

kls options file(s)

Description

The kls program lists files and directories. The output column order is configurable.

Options

-o outputfile

writes output to the specified file instead of writing to standard output.

-p column-order

specifies the order of output columns. Each character in the output-order string represents one of the following fields:

n ... file name
s ... file size in bytes
t ... file type
p ... permissions
x ... message digest (see -m)
l ... number of links
c ... creation time stamp
m ... modification time stamp
a ... access time stamp
u ... user ID
g ... group ID
d ... device number
r ... relative device number
i ... inode number

-m digest-type

chooses a message digest type. The following digests can be used:

MD5   ... RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest
SHA-1 ... SHA-1 message digest

-r runs recursively (traverses all sub-directories).

-t file-types

produces output only for the specified file types. Each character in the file-types string represents one file type:

f ... regular files
d ... directories
p ... pipes
c ... character special files
b ... block special files
s ... sockets
o ... all types not named above.

-l symlink-depth

restricts the number of symbolic links kls follows when traversing directories recursively.

-d directory-handling

decides how to handle directories specified on the command line. Use one of the following characters (or combine them):

d ... give information about the directory itself
c ... give information about the directory contents

-f restricts recursive directory traversal to stay on the current file system. -s shows a summary.

-c options

configures the specified options as permanent options.

-r ...

ignores the permanent options.

-u removes all permanent options.

Return Value

The program returns exit code 0 on success, a positive value on errors.

Caveats

The program lists file owners and groups only by ID , not by name.
