       --cc     with --lltt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last 
modification  of  file
              status  information)  with  --ll:  show ctime and sort by name 
otherwise:
              sort by ctime

       --CC     list entries by columns

       ----ccoolloorr[=_W_H_E_N]

       --HH     same as `--si' for now; soon to change to conform to POSIX

       ----iinnddiiccaattoorr--ssttyyllee=_W_O_R_D append

       --SS     sort by file size

       ----ssoorrtt=_W_O_R_D
              extension --XX, none --UU, size --SS, time --tt, version 
--vv

              status --cc, time --tt, atime --uu, access --uu, use 
--uu

       ----ttiimmee=_W_O_R_D
              show time as WORD instead of modification  time:  atime,  access,

              ctime or status; use specified time as sort key if 
----ssoorrtt=_t_i_m_e

       --tt     sort by modification time

       --TT, ----ttaabbssiizzee=_C_O_L_S
              assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8

       ----hheellpp display this help and exit

       ----vveerrssiioonn
              output version information and exit

       By default, color is not used to distinguish types of files.  That is  
equiva­
       lent  to  using  ----ccoolloorr=_n_o_n_e.   Using the 
----ccoolloorr option without the optional
       WHEN argument is equivalent to using 
----ccoolloorr=_a_l_w_a_y_s.  With 
----ccoolloorr=_a_u_t_o, color
       codes are output only if standard output is connected to a terminal 
(tty).
