	      use SIZE-byte blocks

       -B, --ignore-backups
	      do not list implied entries ending with ~

       -c     sort by change time; with -l: show ctime

       -C     list entries by columns

       --color[=WHEN]

       --indicator-style=WORD
	      append indicator with style WORD to entry names: none (default),
	      classify (-F), file-type (-p)

       -i, --inode
	      print index number of each file

       -I, --ignore=PATTERN
	      do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN

       -k, --kilobytes
	      like --block-size=1024

       -l     use a long listing format

       -L, --dereference
	      list entries pointed to by symbolic links

       -m     fill width with a comma separated list of entries

       -n, --numeric-uid-gid
	      list numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of names

       -N, --literal
	      print  raw entry names (don't treat e.g. control characters spe‐

       -Q, --quote-name
	      enclose entry names in double quotes

       --quoting-style=WORD
	      use quoting style WORD for entry names: literal,	shell,	shell-
	      always, c, escape

       -r, --reverse
	      reverse order while sorting

       -R, --recursive
	      list subdirectories recursively

       -s, --size
	      print size of each file, in blocks

       -S     sort by file size

       --sort=WORD
	      extension	 -X,  none -U, size -S, time -t, version -v 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     sort by last access time; with -l: show atime

       -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 display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       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 con‐
       nected to a terminal (tty).
