) and the parent
directory (..)??”the directory above the current directory??”are noted as directories by the letter d
at the beginning of each entry (each directory begins with a d, and each file begins with a -).
The file and directory names are shown in column 7. In this example, a dot (.) represents
/home/chris and two dots (..) represents /home??”the parent directory of /chris. Most of
the files in this example are dot (.) files that are used to store GUI properties (.kde directory)
or shell properties (.bash files). The only non-dot file in this list is the one named letter.
Column 3 shows the directory or file owner. The /home directory is owned by root, and everything
else is owned by the user chris, who belongs to the sales group (groups are listed in
column 4).
In addition to the d or -, column 1 on each line contains the permissions set for that file or directory.
(Permissions and configuring shell property files are described later in this chapter.) Other
information in the listing includes the number of links to the item (column 2), the size of each file
in bytes (column 5), and the date and time each file was most recently modified (column 6).
The number of characters shown for a directory (4096 bytes in these examples) reflects
the size of the file containing information about the directory.
