Description binsh00 2002-09-20 16:20:03 UTC
According to ls(1) manpage, ls -H should be equivalent to ls --si. However, the
-H argument appears to do nothing in my system:

% ls -H -l

the manpage is outdated

root@rux0r gentoo-x86 # ls --help | egrep -- "-H|bugs"
  -H, --dereference-command-line  follow symbolic links on the command line
