What were you trying to do?
list file sizes.
What's wrong:
ls reports the wrong file size (in blocks) for symlinks to
directories when doing a short listing. It reports the size of
the directory pointed to instead of the size of the link, which
should be 1. ls does not have this problem with links to files,
however.
What should have happened:
ls should behave the same for links to files as with links to
directories.
Example:
I cd'ed to /site/tmp and created foo, foo2, foo3, and foo4
foo, foo2, and foo3 are links to .
foo4 is a link to another file (my kerb tickets).
Now, observe the differences in sizes as reported by "ls -s" with and
without the "-l" option:
% ls -s

Here, you can see that the directory is 3 blocks.
% ls -lds
