ls -l column headings

I'm trying to see if there's a way to see column headings when I type the

ls -l command.

I know what some of the fields mean for example in the following listing:

Code:
total 136
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Jun  5 15:16 bin
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 Jul  9 15:25 boot
drwxr-xr-x  9 root root  3240 Jul 17 20:08 dev
drwxr-xr-x 40 root root  4096 Aug 14 16:51 etc

the first column is permissions.

I don't know what the 2nd, 3rd and 4th column mean.

man ls , says "-l use a long listing format" but doesn't detail what's listed.

I searched everywhere, but couldn't find an answer to this question.

I appreciate any information on getting the headings to display.
