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.
