NAME
hpls -- list the contents of a directory on an HFS+ volume SYNOPSIS
hpls [options] [hfs-path ...] Description hpls is used to list files and directories on an HFS+ volume. If one or more arguments are given, each file or directory is shown; other- wise, the contents of the current working directory are displayed. Options -1 Each entry appears on a line by itself. This is the default if standard output is not a terminal. -a All entries are shown, including "invisible" files. The default is to omit invisible files. -c Sort and display entries by their creation date, rather than their modification date. -d List directory entries themselves rather than their contents. Normally the contents are shown for named directories on the com- mand-line. -i Show the catalogue ID for each entry. Every file and directory on an HFS+ volume has a unique catalogue ID. -l Display entries in long format. This format shows the entry type ("d" for directory, "f" for file, "F" for locked file), flags ("i" for invisible), type and creator (four-character strings) for files only, size (number of items in a directory or resource and data bytes of a file, respectively), date of last modification (or creation if the -c flag is given), and name. -m Display entries in a continuous format separated by commas. -q Replace special and non-printable characters in displayed filenames with question marks (?). This is the default when standard output is a terminal. -r Sort entries in reverse order before displaying. -s Show the file size for each entry in 1K block units. The size includes blocks used for both data and resource forks. -t Sort and display entries by time. Normally files will be sorted by name. This option uses the last modification date to sort unless -c is also specified. -x Display entries in column format like -C, but sorted horizontally into rows rather than columns. -w width Format output lines suitable for display in the given width. Normally the width will be determined from your terminal, from the environment variable COLUMNS, or from a default value of 80. -C Display entries in column format with entries sorted vertically. This is the default output format when standard output is a terminal. -F Cause certain output filenames to be followed by a single-character flag indicating the nature of the entry; directories are fol- lowed by a slash "/" and executable Macintosh applications are followed by an asterisk "*". -N Cause all filenames to be output verbatim without question-mark substitution. -R For each directory that is encountered in a listing, recursively descend into and display its contents.

ls(1)							      General Commands Manual							     ls(1)

Name
       ls - list and generate statistics for files

Syntax
       ls [ options ] name ...

Description
       For each directory argument, lists the contents of the directory.  For each file argument, repeats the file name and gives any other infor-
       mation you request with the options available.  By default, the list is sorted alphabetically.  When no	argument  is  given,  the  current
       directory  is  listed.	When several arguments are given, files are listed first, followed by directories and the files within each direc-
       tory.  Options are listed below.

Options
       -1   Displays one entry per line.  This is the default when output is not to a terminal.

       -a   Displays all entries including those beginning with a period (.).

       -C   Forces multicolumn output for pipe or filter.  This is the default when the output is to a terminal.

       -c   Uses time of last file status change (ctime), reflecting file creation, mode, etc., for sorting (with the -t option) or printing (with
	    the -l option) rather than the time of file modification or access. See also the -t and -u options.

       -d   Displays names of directories only, not contents.  Use this option with -l to get the status of a directory.

       -F   Marks  directories	with  trailing	slash (/), sockets with a trailing equal sign (=), symbolic links with a trailing at sign (@), and
	    executable files with a trailing asterisk (*).

       -f   Displays names in the order they exist in directory.  For further information, see Entries	beginning  with  a  period  (.)  are  also
	    listed.  This option overrides the -l, -t, -s, and -r options.

       -g   Displays assigned group ID (used with -l only).  Default is assigned owner ID.

       -i   Displays the i-number for each file in the first column of the report.

       -L   Lists  the	information,  if  the file is a symbolic link, for the file or directory the link references rather than that for the link
	    itself.

       -l   Lists the mode, number of links, owner, size in bytes, and time of last modification (mtime) for each file.  If the file is a  special
	    file, the size field contains the major and minor device numbers instead of the size.  If the file is a symbolic link, the pathname of
	    the linked-to file is printed, preceded by ``->''.

	    The mode field consists of 11 characters.  The first character indicates the type of entry:

	    d if the entry is a directory
	    b if the entry is a block-type special file
	    c if the entry is a character-type special file
	    l if the entry is a symbolic link
	    s if the entry is a socket
	    - if the entry is a plain file

	    The next 9 characters are interpreted as three sets of three characters each.  The first set of three characters refers to file-access
	    permissions  for  the user; the next set, for the user-group; and the last set, for all others.  The permissions are indicated as fol-
	    lows:

	    r if the file is readable
	    w if the file is writable
	    x if the file is executable
	    - if the indicated permission is not granted.

	    The group-execute permission character is given as s if the file has the set-group-id bit set; likewise, the  user-execute	permission
	    character is given as s if the file has the set-user-id bit set.

	    The last character of the mode (normally `x' or `-') is t if the 1000 bit of the mode is on.  See for the meaning of this mode.

       -q   Forces  the printing of nongraphic characters in file names as the question mark character (?).  This is the default when output is to
	    a terminal.

       -R   Recursively lists all subdirectories.

       -r   Sorts entries in reverse alphabetic or time order.

       -s   Displays the size in kilobytes of each file.  This is the first item listed in each entry.

       -t   Sorts by time modified (most recently modified first) instead of by name. See also the -c and -u options.

       -u   Uses the time of last access (atime) instead of last modification for sorting (with the -t option) or printing (with the -l option).

Restrictions
       The output device is assumed to be 80 columns wide.

       New line and tab are considered printing characters in file names.

       The option setting based on whether the output is a teletype is undesirable as "ls -s" is much different than "ls -s |lpr".  On	the  other
       hand, not doing this setting would make old shell scripts which used ls almost certain to fail.

Files
       Used to obtain user id's for ls -l

       Used to obtain group id's for ls -g
