status ?c, time ?t, atime ?u, access ?u, use ?u |
??time=WORD |
show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime, access, use, ctime or status; use specified time as sort key if ??sort=time |
?t |
sort by modification time |
?T, ??tabsize=COLS |
assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8 |
?u |
with ?lt: sort by, and show, access time with ?l: show access time and sort by name otherwise: sort by access time |
||
?U |
do not sort; list entries in directory order |
||
?v |
sort by version |
?w, ??width=COLS |
assume screen width instead of current value |
?x |
list entries by lines instead of by columns |
|||
?X |
sort alphabetically by entry extension |
|||
?1 |
list one file per line |
|||
??help |

By default, color is not used to distinguish types of files. That is equivalent to using ??color=none. Using the ??color option without the optional WHEN argument is equivalent to using ??color=always. With ??color=auto, color codes are output only if standard output is connected to a terminal (tty). |
