Sir,

I do not understand the meaning of ls --author, when I type ls --author it returns all the directories name.

Thanks.

Fixed typos and grammar in your post.

Anon10039,

Please be careful with typos and grammatical errors in your post. This option is deprecated and will only return the username in the third column. Also, it is written in the man page that it is to be used with -l only. Did you try ls -l and ls -l --author?

Thanks,

Anup
