What Does Ll Command Do in Linux?
Contents

What does ll show in Linux?

The -l option signifies the long list format. This shows a lot more information presented to the user than the standard command. You will see the file permissions, the number of links, owner name, owner group, file size, time of last modification, and the file or directory name.

What is the difference between LL and ls in Linux?

They are the same. The actual command is ls which above is found in /usr/bin . ll is intended as a convenience, but you cannot rely on it being defined on all *nix systems, so it is good to know what it is really doing.
