question about ouput of ls -l
I just noticed the second column in the output of ls -l and I was wondering what it meant.
Here's an example of what I mean. I'm talking about the significance of the number between the permissions and the owner.
Code:
bash-2.05b# ls -l
total 84
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 7 16:43 X11 -> X11R6
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Aug 19 2003 X11R6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 May 8 01:10 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 25 1993 dict
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 May 9 05:05 doc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 3 2003 etc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 6 2003 i386-slackware-linux
drwxr-xr-x 50 root root 8192 Aug 19 2003 include
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 12 2003 info
drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 12288 May 9 05:05 lib
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 24 2003 libexec
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 May 9 04:54 local
drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 4096 Jun 15 2003 man
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 4096 Jul 7 2003 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 41 root root 4096 May 9 05:05 share
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 7 16:32 spool -> /var/spool
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 5 2003 src
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 7 16:32 tmp -> /var/tmp
Confused,
