xmlsh - XML Shell: Command ls

Command ls

This command is part of the posix extensions and needs to be imported to be available to the shell.
See Posix Commands

Options

ls takes the same options as xls

-l,-long	Long listing, include all file property attributes
-a,-all	List all files including hidden files (starts with ".")
-R,-recurse	Recursively list all files and directories

Lists the files in the specified directories, or the current directory if no arguments.
The results are formatted similar to the posix ls command except that in the long listing, java doesnt provide group and world permission information, so instead the permissions are listed as they apply to the current user.
