Supply proj as the project number for charging. Currently, no charging is done for metadata operations, so this option is a placeholder for when charging might be imposed.

Supply cos as the list of class of service categories to display instead of the modification time. The categories are those listed in the msclass(1NCAR) man page, separated by commas if more than one is present. The corresponding values will be listed in the same order as their respective keys as given in cos, separated by commas. The output values will be abbreviated by default.

Display the full (non-abbreviated) values for the classes of service selected by the -class option.

Write multi-text-column output with entries sorted down the columns, according to the ASCII collating sequence. This is the default. A width of 80 columns is assumed. Mutually exclusive with -1 (the numeral 1), and -l (the letter l).

Write a slash (/) immediately after each pathname that is a directory.

Use the projected purge date instead of the last modification time for sorting (-t) or writing (-l). (This is the last access time plus the retention period.) Mutually exclusive with -c, -u, -p, and -z. The -P option forces the long output format (-l). Note that you must also use the -t option to enable sorting by projected purge date.

Recursively list subdirectories encountered.

Sort by size, largest file first.

Display complete time information for the file, including month, day, hour, minute, second, and year. This is only effective if a long output format is automatically selected by another option.

Print out version number(s) of the software.

Has no effect, but is provided for compatibility. The default is to write out all directory entries, including those whose names begin with a period (.).

Use the last reference time (last touch, read, or write) instead of the time of the last modification (write) for sorting (-t) or writing (-l). Mutually exclusive with -P, -p, -u, and -z. The -c option forces the long output format (-l). Note that you must also use the -t option to enable sorting by last reference time.

Do not treat directories differently than files; that is, do not list the contents of a directory specified as a operand.

Output is not sorted.

(The letter l.) Write out in long format (see below). The -l option forces the output to be one entry per line (-1).

Use the retention period (in days) instead of the last modification time for sorting (-t) or writing (-l). Mutually exclusive with -c, -u, -z, and -P. The-p option forces the long output format (-l). Note that you must also use the -t option to enable sorting by retention period date.

Force each instance of non-printable pathname characters and tab-key characters to be written as "?" (the question-mark character).

Reverse the order of the sort, to be oldest first.

Sort by time modified (most recently modified first) before sorting the operands by the ASCII collating sequence. Required to enable sorting by retention period (if -p is also selected), projected purge date (if -P is also selected) or other file times (if -c or -u are selected).

Use time of last access (read) instead of last modification time for sorting (-t) or writing (-l). Mutually exclusive with -c, -p, -z, and -P. The -u option forces the long output format (-l). Note that you must also use the -t option to enable sorting by last access time.

Print the MSS file comment. The comment will follow the pathname and is separated from the pathname by two spaces and a colon. The -x option forces the long output format (-l).

Use the estimated days until purge instead of the last modification time for sorting (-t) or writing (-l). Mutually exclusive with -c, -p, -u, and -P. The -z option forces the long output format (-l). The creation time of the file is displayed instead of the modification time. The estimated days until purge is inserted between the creation time field and the name field.

(The numeral 1.) Force output to be one entry per line.

A pathname. If path is not found, a diagnostic message will be written to standard error.
