What are common ls options?

Here are some common options for the ls command in Linux:

1. -l: Long listing format. Displays detailed information about each file, including permissions, owner, size, and modification date.

   ls -l
   

2. -a: Lists all files, including hidden files (those starting with a dot).

   ls -a
   

3. -h: Human-readable sizes. Used with -l to display file sizes in a more understandable format (e.g., KB, MB).

   ls -lh
   

4. -R: Recursively lists all files and directories in the current directory and its subdirectories.

   ls -R
   

5. -t: Sorts files by modification time, with the newest files first.

   ls -lt
   

6. -S: Sorts files by size, with the largest files first.

   ls -lS
   

7. -r: Reverses the order of the sort.

   ls -lr
   

You can combine these options for more customized output. For example:

ls -lha
