message: It needs more references to verify it, but the history segment could be updated. It doesn't exactly conflict but there's a hole in the information between other sources and wikipedia. It seems that listf in CTSS has an older history than list in Multics does even.

replies: text: yes, listf in CTSS has an older history, but the shortening of the name to list and then ls was in Multics which did import the name from CTSS. The original Unix team was well familiar with both CTSS and Multics. Not sure if this article needs that much history, I think here the weird abbreviation is what needs mention rather than the concept of listing something. BTW, here we are talking about actual lists of things, but over the years listings usually refer to printing out files (yes, those are lists of lines which were from stacks of cards, I'm just saying) 68.173.49.156 (talk) 01:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Could we add in the SL command as a subsection or possibly an article of its own? It's a noteworthy command and is an animation of a Steam Locomotive (SL) to penalize careless users. Centrisian (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How is it notable? It certainly isn't widely installed comparing to ls. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 07:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello, on one of the examples on the text, a call to ls generates output that gives a hard-link count of 1 to a directory.  I thought that that was not possible since a directory must contain a link to itself and a link to its parent.  Should it be changed? Brusegadi (talk) 09:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I could not find anything wrong with the current HTML tags in use (i.e.  and , instead of ). They seem to be in agreement with the Wikipedia HTML spec, more specifically on monospaced text. Thus, I have removed the  template.
