Hi,

ls -l displays the long listing of a file in 8 fields.

Query:
------
Does ls -l display the filename size in KB or MB or GB?

-rwxrwxr-x 1 xx dba 655 May 22 06:27 time

Here 655 is KB or MB or GB?

Many thanks.

BTW. Having an executable file called "time" is not a good idea. It is the name of a unix command.

There is no "-h" option in unix "ls". Some Linux variants have it.
