Well some of the info is the size of the file in bytes. If you do a
ls -lh you get the file sizes in human readable form.
here is an ls -l :
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2557 Nov 30 13:23 output.log
and the same file with ls -lh
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2.5k Nov 30 13:23 output.log
The -rw-rw-r-- is the file security and the 1 before root is the group
number I beleive?
