hpls(1)hpls(1)NAMEhpls — list the contents of a directory on an HFS+ volume
SYNOPSIShpls [options] [hfs-path ...]
Descriptionhpls is used to list files and directories on an HFS+ volume. If one
or more arguments are given, each file or directory is shown; other‐
wise, the contents of the current working directory are displayed.
Options-1 Each entry appears on a line by itself. This is the default
if standard output is not a terminal.
-a All entries are shown, including "invisible" files. The
default is to omit invisible files.
-c Sort and display entries by their creation date, rather than
their modification date.
-d List directory entries themselves rather than their contents.
Normally the contents are shown for named directories on the
command-line.
-i Show the catalogue ID for each entry. Every file and direc‐
tory on an HFS+ volume has a unique catalogue ID.
-l Display entries in long format. This format shows the entry
type ("d" for directory, "f" for file, "F" for locked file),
flags ("i" for invisible), type and creator (four-character
strings) for files only, size (number of items in a directory
or resource and data bytes of a file, respectively), date of
last modification (or creation if the -c flag is
given), and name.
-m Display entries in a continuous format separated by commas.
-q Replace special and non-printable characters in displayed
filenames with question marks (?). This is the default when
standard output is a terminal.
-r Sort entries in reverse order before displaying.
-s Show the file size for each entry in 1K block units. The
size includes blocks used for both data and resource forks.
-t Sort and display entries by time. Normally files will be
sorted by name. This option uses the last modification date
to sort unless -c is also specified.
-x Display entries in column format like -C, but sorted horizon‐
tally into rows rather than columns.
-w width Format output lines suitable for display in the given width.
Normally the width will be determined from your terminal,
from the environment variable COLUMNS, or from a default
value of 80.
-C Display entries in column format with entries sorted verti‐
cally. This is the default output format when standard out‐
put is a terminal.
-F Cause certain output filenames to be followed by a single-
character flag indicating the nature of the entry; directo‐
ries are followed by a slash "/" and executable Macintosh
applications are followed by an asterisk "*".
-N Cause all filenames to be output verbatim without question-
mark substitution.
-R For each directory that is encountered in a listing, recur‐
sively descend into and display its contents.
