size of file

if i run a ls -l and i get

8882048000

for a file size, is that kilobyte? what is that in gigabytes?

That should be bytes.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but 8882048000 bytes would be around 8.8 GB (but not exactly, since 1024 bytes = 1 KB; 1000 bytes != 1KB).

on solaris >= 9 use 'ls -lh' to get "human readable" listings in KB/MB/GB as appropriate.
