Using a long listing

To get more information about each file and directory, use the command:

   ls -l

This gives you a long listing about each file and directory, giving information about its:

1. access permissions
2. number of links
3. owner
4. group ownership (on BSD systems only seen with -g option)
5. size
6. date and time last modified
