Show file size in MB not bytes

Hi all,

In BASH, when I do "ls -l" all the files sizes are listed in bytes, is there a command that would show me file sizes in MB?

Thanks

Hello,

Try:

Code:

ls -lh

Read the man page for more information.

Code:

man ls

Kind regards,

Eric

I agree with EricTRA. The added h stands for human readable (MB and GB vs Bytes).

ls doesn't have anything to do with bash, it's just an independent program.
