ls -l output file size

Hi Guys,

I'm working on various platforms:

Solaris 8
HP Tru64
RH Linux

I'm on the HP Tru64 system and I've got to audit a particular directory for large files that are no longer being used.

If I do an ls -l I get to see the file size. I'd just like to be clear on what that file size is measured in. Is it bytes, kilobytes, or cabages?

Will it be the same for the Sol8 and Linux OSes too?

Also if someone has some tips that might make my time more efficient, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Stin
