[lug] ls -option

[Atkinson, Chip]

Likewise, I've never heard of anything other than piping it through a pager
such as less or more.  As a general "theme" (?) to unix and linux use,
you'll have a much better time using the command line if you know several
commands that you can pipe together.  For example, you can find out what
files in /usr/bin are not owned by root by 
ls -l /usr/bin | grep -v root
