.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 (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 date(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
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 dircolors 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).
