centos see file permissions
hello there,
im using centos v5.7 and normally when I try to see the file permission I see
drwxr-xr-x how can I see the number instead? like 0777 or 0600
[(12:26 PM)][(root@alpha)] [(~)] $ ls -alh
total 208K
drwxr-x--- 14 root root 4.0K Sep 30 03:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4.0K Sep 14 20:36 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 315 Sep 30 03:39 a.php
-rw------- 1 root root 8.4K Sep 30 04:41 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24 Jan 6 2007 .bash_logout

In my point of view, although it might be a "cheat" or "workaround", would be to start mc (midnight commander), set one panel to "info", and in the other highlight the file or folder you need the info on, and it will be displayed in the panel you have set to "info". This is one of the best tools available in the 'nix world, and I can't understand why it isn't included by default in every Linux distro. If you don't have it, just install it with yum install mc.
stat -c "%a %n" /folder/*
jgiordano is correct, stat will do just that.
To mimic your 'ls' output, you can add a few more colums:

gerwinjansen, that works nicely..
what is the number 1 right next to the permissions and how can I display the size in human readable

The number 1 you mean is the amount of hard links to that file.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'human readable', the file size is displayed in bytes, do you require some other format? You can have a look in the stat man pages (man stat), only field available for size is 'bytes'. You can do some formatting afterwards but what do you want exactly?

ASKER
when you do
du -h /root
you can see KB or MB or GB in bytes its hard to know the size
du -h /root
you can see KB or MB or GB in bytes its hard to know the size
I understand, do you want to see the size of the files in KB? du -h is showing file size in KB.

yes KB is fine
