Read man ls

Quest: explain-ls

Mission

Read man ls, find what -S does, then quit the manual.

Why This Matters

The manual is part of the operating system. You are not expected to memorize every option. You are expected to know how to find the answer.

Commands You Will Use

Steps

  1. Run man ls.
  2. Search or scan until you find -S.
  3. Read the explanation beside it.
  4. Press q to quit.
  5. Answer the guide in your own words.

Hints

  1. Start with man ls.
  2. Inside many pager views, / starts a search.
  3. The answer uses the ideas of sorting and file size.

If Check Fails

Open man ls again. The correct answer must explain sorting by file size.
