It's taking the size of the file in blocks on the filesystem (-s) and then displaying it in units of 1 byte (--block-size=1). So for a 1-byte file which occupies a 4k disk block, ls --block-size=1 -s will show 4096. I think this is a documentation bug. --block-size says it means "use SIZE-byte blocks". It really means "show the number of blocks allocated in units of SIZE". -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
