ls flags: * denotes interesting ones -A * Lists all entries except . (dot) and .. (dot-dot). -c Uses the time of last modification of the i-node for either sorting (when used with the -t flag) or for displaying (when used with the -l flag). -d * Displays only the information for the directory named. Directories are treated like files, which is helpful when using the -l flag to get the status of a directory. -l * Displays the mode, number of links, owner, group, size (in bytes), and time of last modification for each file. -R Lists all subdirectories recursively. -r Reverses the order of the sort. -t * Sorts by time of last modification instead of by name. -u Uses the time of the last access, instead of the time of the last modification, for either sorting (when used with the -t flag) or for displaying (when used with the -l flag). -1 Put output 1 file per line (instead of multi-column). This is the default if piped to a file.
