I'm not sure what you are saying. Is 'ls -lk' valid or not?
Yes, it's valid.
I don't know what 'per-directory block counts' means.
It's what's in the first line of output of "ls -l".
$ ls -l
total 5936
...
'ls -lks file' produces bytes
It produces block counts in column 1, bytes in column 6.
'-k' affects the former, not the latter. -k is the default
unless your environment has special settings, so normally
specifying -k won't change the output.
OK, thanks Paul. I still think the man page could use some clarification.
