NAME

       hpls — list the contents of a directory on an HFS+ volume

SYNOPSIS

       hpls [options]  [hfs-path ...]

Description

       hpls  is  used to list files and directories on an HFS+ volume.  If one or more arguments are given, each
       file or directory is shown; otherwise, 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 directory 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  horizontally  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 vertically.  This is the default output
                 format when standard output is a terminal.

       -F        Cause certain output filenames to be followed by a single-character flag indicating the  nature
                 of the entry; directories 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, recursively descend into and display its
                 contents.
