ls -l command output - missing labels
by tuxman321 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6F80H)
Hello everyone :) I'm getting started with Linux by learning some basic shell commands and noticed a strange omission:
The column labels for the output of ls -l command are missing.
(Note: that's a lowercase letter L and not an uppercase I or number 1. It may be deceiving depending on your system font)
I tried looking for the label names or column structure in the man pages but couldn't find anything about it.
So I looked it up online and found not only the answer, but there is also such thing as help and info commands as well. (Funny there is not a single standard for something like this). But I couldn't find the labels in those either.
Ultimately, there are a few different solutions online that seem a bit command specific or advanced for my skill level. But I hope to implement these solutions one day so I don't have to remember what the columns mean for commands like ls and others.
In the meantime, can someone point me to the spot in the man, info, and / or help pages which has the info I'm seeking?
There are times when I won't have the internet available for help, and I'm sure something so simple and fundamental such as column label has gotta be listed in there somewhere!
And if not, is there a "suggestion box" for things like this? I unfortunately don't know how to program or contribute yet.
Thanks!
