# flscmd(1)

list the contents of a FSP database

## NAME

flscmd, fls - list the contents of a FSP database

## SYNOPSIS

**flscmd** \[ **unix ls flags** \] *filename* ...

**fls** \[ **unix ls flags** \] *filename* ...

## DESCRIPTION

**flscmd** lists the content of the FSP database.  All usual flags and usages for the unix **ls** command are accepted.

**flscmd** will perform **csh** file name globbing based on file and directory information obtained from the FSP database.

Since user's command shells generally cannot do the proper globbing for this program, it is recommended that user defines a shell alias or function to turn off command shell globbing before running this program. **csh** example:

```
alias fls \(set noglob\; exec flscmd \!\*\)
```

## ENVIRONMENT

See [fsp\_env(7)](/fsp_env/7.md) for list of used environment variables.

## BUGS

**flscmd** is based on 4.3 **ls** code.  It inherits any bugs found in 4.3 **ls.** In addition, only four pieces of information for each file and directory are available through FSP: **name,** **time,** **size,** and **type.** All other information that **flscmd** display are for compatibility purposes only and are forged locally.
