LIST displays information about the contents of the current directory. If you specify (dir), (pattern), or (filename) argument, LIST displays information about the specified item. The PAT argument lets you specify a pattern.

Unless other options are used, LIST displays the following:


name             The name of the file or directory.
size             The size of the file in bytes.
protection       The protection bits that are set for this file are shown in letters.
date and time    the times/date tamp of the file is shown.
