Take a look at the NameWidth option here: |

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexoptions |
| 10 |
(ok, its for file names, but the same principle applies) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So we could have something like: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ls -l |
| 15 |
- gives sizes as 8 characters as normal |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
ls -l --sizewidth=10 |
| 18 |
- gives size column as 10 characters |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
ls -l --sizewidth=* |
| 21 |
- size column auto-expands to fit |
