What is returned when using 'find . -ls'
Hi all,

I tried to find the reply using google, yet did not find a conclusive answer.

When I use 'find . -ls', I get something like:
Code:
3423297        8 -rw-r--r--    1 useradmin staff         135  4 apr 09:46 ./.~lock.dir-file-list.csv#

I know that
  • 3423297 is the inode
  • -rw-r--r-- are the permissions
  • useradmin is owner
  • 4 apr 09:46 modification date
  • ./.~lock.dir-file-list.csv# is file(path)

But what is:
  • 8 (I guess file type (in this case dir) but is this the same for all unix systems
  • 135?
I'm particulary interested in the 8 I guess, cause if a dir is consistently given a number 8, files a '1', I could use this to sort the files in my excel file.

Code:
man find

o inode number
o size in kilobytes (1024 bytes)
o protection mode
o number of hard links
o user
o group
o size in bytes
o modification time.

may depends on your plateform, check your man pages

Ok, thanks.

Did not find that in the man find though. Not sure where to look for to be honest.
