Read the manpage
Authored by: gidds on Apr 09, '03 11:55:49AM
From the manpage: By default, lsmac does not display file size and only lists the file name.  (You did read the manpage, didn't you?)  Those dashes you see are probably the flags; if the file isn't invisible, locked, stationary, an alias, a bundle, or with a custom icon, then you won't see any letters there.

Try one or more of the options:

  • -s Display file size in human-readable format (i.e. 1.2MB or 327KB)
  • -b Display file size in bytes (i.e. 12977128 bytes)
  • -o Omit folders when listing directory contents
  • -a Display all files, including files with the . prefix.
  • -p Display full file paths instead of file names
  • -l When listing file size, use physical size instead of logical size.

Read the manpage

So the above example should read:

% lsmac -s

not just

% lsmac

correct?

Anyone know why it produces the "FSPathMakeRef(): Error -35 returned when getting file reference from path" errors?
