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.

colour, programme, speciality, travelled, and so on, this option causes spell to insist upon the use of the infix -ise in words like stan-
dardise. [Tru64 UNIX] Specifies hash_list as the alternate spelling list. The default is /usr/lbin/spell/hlist[ab]. [Tru64 UNIX] Speci-
fies history_list as the alternate history list that is used to accumulate all output. The default is /usr/lbin/spell/spellhist. [Tru64
UNIX] Suppresses processing of included files through the and troff macros. If the -i and -l options are both specified, the last one of
the two options entered on the command line takes effect. [Tru64 UNIX] Follows the chain of all included files (.so and
