Total in ls -la

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello guys,
I'm curious when we do 'ls -la', what does 'total' mean? Is it the amount of 
directory, files, or else?

Example:
pwd
/tmp/testls/dir1

ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 fajar users 4096 2006-11-06 11:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 fajar users 4096 2006-11-06 11:12 ..

What 'total 8' stands for?
Thank you very much.
