Linux Administration Cookbook

How to do it...

With your files from the Getting ready section in place, run an ls -l on what we've created:

$ ls -ltotal 0drwxrwxr-x. 2 vagrant vagrant 39 Oct 28 11:01 exampledir-rw-rw-r--. 1 vagrant vagrant 0 Oct 28 11:00 examplefile

-l, used here, means using a long-listing format, and is used not just to print the files and folders found, but to give us a more complete picture.
