Linux command to long list files

Guys,

Is there a way where in I can long list the files in a directory along with the information that tells me from the resultant list that those individual files are a directory or a file or a symbolic link. Effectively I'm asking if there is a way to combile ls-l and ls-p with the result being shown in the ls -l way?

I don't understand exactly what you're asking. But how about ls -lp?

The first character in the ls -l result explains it... good learning, found it out by myself.

The d says that the file compile is a directory and exactly which is what I wanted to know when I give ls -l and this is what I get when I give ls -p

One of my favorites is "ls -lrthZ".

This does a detail list, using human-readable (MB, GB) filesizes in reverse size order, including SElinux attributes.

I tried that on my Red Hat machine and gave me the error saying that "Sorry this option can be used only in a Linux SEKernel"

Which is true. But if you don't care about SELinux, just leave off the "Z" option.

Does the SE stands for Special Edition? I"m sorry that I'm dumb here.

Google to the rescue: selinux
