+.PP
+The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024).
+Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).
+Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
+.PP
+The TIME_STYLE argument can be full\-iso, long\-iso, iso, locale, or +FORMAT.
+FORMAT is interpreted like in \fBdate\fP(1). If FORMAT is FORMAT1<newline>FORMAT2,
+then FORMAT1 applies to non\-recent files and FORMAT2 to recent files.
+TIME_STYLE prefixed with 'posix\-' takes effect only outside the POSIX locale.
+Also the TIME_STYLE environment variable sets the default style to use.
+.PP
+The WHEN argument defaults to 'always' and can also be 'auto' or 'never'.
+.PP
+Using color to distinguish file types is disabled both by default and
+with \fB\-\-color\fR=\fI\,never\/\fR. With \fB\-\-color\fR=\fI\,auto\/\fR, ls emits color codes only when
+standard output is connected to a terminal. The LS_COLORS environment
+variable can change the settings. Use the \fBdircolors\fP(1) command to set it.
+.SS "Exit status:"
+.TP
+0
+if OK,
+.TP
+1
+if minor problems (e.g., cannot access subdirectory),
+.TP
+2
+if serious trouble (e.g., cannot access command\-line argument).
