By using the man command I want to list the names of the files I have already created with extra information such as filesize, date of modification etc.

I know I have to use the man command possibly something like:

man ls | documents

But this would not seem to work. If anyone would know how to do this that would be great? Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You use man to read the contents of the manual, not list files.

Use ls to list your files.

Use ls -l to list files with extra information.

Use ls -la to list all files (including hidden) with extra information.
