Re: LS -L command, year created field contains hour:minute instead of year

This is done to save some space in the output of ls(1) and yet print useful information like the `hour:minute' of modification time for files that have been modified recently (for some definition of `recently'). The same is done in other BSDs too. Here's output from a NetBSD 1.6 system that shows similar behavior: nbsd- touch -t 199805092317.25 lala nbsd- ls -l total 100 drwx-- 2 gk736 nis 8192 Jan 6 08:25 bin drwxr-xr-x 4 gk736 nis 8192 Jan 6 23:28 compress -rw-r- 1 gk736 nis 30918 Jan 6 23:28 compress.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 gk736 nis 0 May 9 1998 lala -rw-r--r-- 1 gk736 nis 2563 Jan 7 05:16 text To me this looks like there is a bug in the routine that populates the file's creation date field upon creation of the file and the LS -L command is just displaying what it finds in the year field which has been populated with incorrect data. Hmmm. I'm not sure I understand what is being said here. There is no bug at this part of ls(1). It simply prints the year at column 8 for files that have been modified way back in the past, and uses the same column to print the hour:minute of recently modified files. I am looking for confirmation of my interpretation of the problem from other FBSD users, before I submit PR on it. It's not really a problem, imho. You can always use the -lT options of ls(1) to print the full time information of file. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The LS -L command will display the long info about files in a directory. FBSD 4.0 through 4.5 LS -L command would display among other things the month/day/year the file was created. FBSD versions 4.6 and 4.7 displays the hour:minute the file was created in the year field instead of the year.

RE: LS -L command, year created field contains hour:minute instead of year
More info on problem. I have files created by FBSD 4.5 before 6/19/02 that have the year 2002 in the year field. When in moved to 4.6 6/21/02 I have files created during the rest of 2002 that have dates with the time in the year field. Now 1/5/03 I went to 4.7 and see the same problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of JoeB Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 9:00 PM To: FBSDQ Subject: LS -L command, year created field contains hour:minute instead of year The LS -L command will display the long info about files in a directory.

Please find the humor in this, I'm not at all trying to be a pain in the ass here...but since the OS is case sensitive, I chuckled when I read this, thinking 'LS -L' is not a command.
