==name ls

==short-description

List the contents of a directory.

==long-description

Note, C<cd> can be used to navigate between drives, but the DOS approach of switching between drives with commands like C<c:> and C<e:> is also supported.

==argument filename dir_name optional

The directory to list (defaults to the current working directory).

==option bool a all

Display all files, including those with hidden and system attributes.

==option bool l long

Display verbose file information, including attributes, file size and last-modified date. The attributes have the following format:

=over 5

=item d

directory

=item r

read only

=item h

hidden

=item s

system

=item a

archived

=back

For example, C<d--s-> indicates a drectory with the system bit set.

==option bool H human

Display file sizes in human readable form.

==option bool 1 one

Outputs one entry per line rather than trying to columnise the output. Is implied if C<stdout> is redirected or if C<--long> is specified.

==option bool r recurse

Recursively list any directories that are encountered. Currently only supported for C<--long> listings.
