Indeed, `man ls` tells me: -l, --format=long, --format=verbose In addition to the name of each file, print the file type, permissions, number of hard links, owner ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ name, group name, size in bytes, and timestamp (the modification time unless other times are selected). For files with a time that is more than 6 months old or more than 1 hour into the future, the times tamp contains the year instead of the time of day.
