Hi, I'm wondering what the output means when one does an "ls -lR". Here's some sample output from my home dir: ./programs: total 900 -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 5467 Sep 25 2006 4or6 -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 606 Dec 20 2006 abc.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 8436 Dec 20 2006 abs -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 970 Dec 12 2006 bindtest.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 5666 Dec 12 2006 bt -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 654 Jun 5 08:12 filetest.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 5223 Nov 16 2006 foo -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 397 Nov 16 2006 foo.c -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 502 May 25 07:20 foo.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 8733 May 25 07:20 foocxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 9359 Jun 5 08:12 ft -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 172 Dec 20 2006 negtest.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 6986 Dec 20 2006 nt -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 100 Nov 16 2006 obj.c -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 796 Nov 16 2006 obj.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 6316 May 23 10:43 td -rw------- 1 afalanga afalanga 327680 May 23 10:22 td.core -rwxr-xr-x 1 root afalanga 5552 Jul 26 2006 test -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 1267 May 23 10:43 test.c -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 407 Jan 10 2007 test.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 8760 Jan 10 2007 testc -rw------- 1 afalanga afalanga 430080 Jan 3 2007 testc.core -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 100 Jun 5 07:45 testtest.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 185 Dec 15 2006 timetest.cxx -rwxr-xr-x 1 afalanga afalanga 7008 Dec 15 2006 tt -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 1142 Sep 25 2006 v6.c -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 67 Jan 5 2007 willitwork ./scripts: total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 970 Oct 12 2006 newtables.sql -rwxr--r-- 1 afalanga afalanga 1777 Jun 1 10:59 test.tcl Right underneath the directory that is being probed at that point is a number, "total X". What is X referring to? Is it blocks, bytes, what? Andy
