ls command help, figures not matching up
Hello all.
I ran my AV app. and it scanned 600k+ files on my osx tiger powerpc laptop.
I went into terminal and ran ls -l */* on my applications folder.
for one entry it returned:
Snood3.0/:
total 17376
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ds admin 5152 Jan 17 2006 License30.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ds admin 226101 Jan 17 2006 Snood
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ds admin 15053 Jan 17 2006 Snood 3.0 ReadMe (text).txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ds admin 18429 Jan 17 2006 Snood 3.0 ReadMe.rtf
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds admin 352 Jan 18 2006 serial.rtf
I ran ls -l on its parent folder and got this result
drwxrwxrwx 8 ds admin 272 Jan 18 2006 Snood3.0
it shows 8 for the directories. There are 5 files + . & .. = 7 not 8?
1. What constitutes the "8" number if the total "directories" add up to 7?
2. What does the figure "total x" represent, in this case total 17376?
3. As stated above my computer has over 600k files. I'd like to identify which folders/apps contain the most files so I can trim this figure down. Is there a command to list all files of such folder? If in fact the above example includes 17k+ files and I only see 5 I'd like to be able discern the discrepancy between the two.
Thanks for any help

fcfontsort
FcFontSort(3) FcFontSort(3)
NAME
FcFontSort - Return list of matching fonts
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lfontconfig [ library... ]
#include <fontconfig.h>
FcFontSet * FcFontSort (FcConfig *config, FcPattern *p, FcBool trim, FcCharSet **csp, FcResult *result);
DESCRIPTION
Returns the list of fonts sorted by closeness to p. If trim is FcTrue, elements in the list which don't include Unicode coverage not pro-
vided by earlier elements in the list are elided. The union of Unicode coverage of all of the fonts is returned in csp, if csp is not
NULL. This function should be called only after FcConfigSubstitute and FcDefaultSubstitute have been called for p; otherwise the results
will not be correct.
The returned FcFontSet references FcPattern structures which may be shared by the return value from multiple FcFontSort calls, applications
must not modify these patterns. Instead, they should be passed, along with p to FcFontRenderPrepare which combines them into a complete
pattern.
The FcFontSet returned by FcFontSort is destroyed by caling FcFontSetDestroy.
VERSION
Fontconfig version 2.5.0
