Sorting problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hai ,

In unix we are going to sort it out all the directories and files based on size of the file. For that we have to use this command ls -al | sort
+4nr. If we are giving this command means it will show all the records in a descending order....when I am checking one file bytes its showing 96 bytes......But I checked inside that file its having so many sub files and sub directories.Its showing 10000 bytes like that. There is a mush difference between this..Now I waana sort out files based on actual size of all directories and files....

E2LS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   E2LS(1)

NAME

       e2ls - list files and directories on an ext2 filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       e2ls [options] file_specification

DESCRIPTION

       The e2ls command is used to list files and directories on an ext2 filesystem.

       Note: Files deleted via e2rm sometimes will show up even without the -D option. It is being investigated.

OPTIONS

       -a     Show hidden directories.

       -c     Sort by creation time (must include -t when using -l).

       -d dir Open the ext2 filesystem specified by dir.

       -D     Show deleted files bracketed with ><.

       -f     No sorting of the file list.

       -i     Show the inodes (very useful for the -l option).

       -l     Long listing.

       -r     Reverse the sort order.

       -t     Sort by time.
