Hi,

Don't be afraid to ask... first always try the "man" command, it will teach you a lot... use it with "man command"...
Now, to answer to your question, and straight from the man page of ls command...

Quote:
ls -l (the long list) prints its output as follows for the
POSIX locale:

-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 smith dev 10876 May 16 9:42 part2

Reading from right to left, you see that the current direc-
tory holds one file, named part2. Next, the last time that
file's contents were modified was 9:42 A.M. on May 16. The
file contains 10,876 characters, or bytes. The owner of the
file, or the user, belongs to the group dev (perhaps indi-
cating ``development''), and his or her login name is smith.
The number, in this case 1, indicates the number of links to
file part2 (see cp(1)). The plus sign indicates that there
is an ACL associated with the file. Note: If the -@ option
has been specified, the presence of extended attributes will
supersede the presence of an ACL and the plus sign will be
replaced with an 'at' sign (@). Finally, the dash and
letters tell you that user, group, and others have permis-
sions to read, write, and execute part2.
