Number of links and size. Seriously. Directories are "just files," so the size is exactly that: How many bytes are in the "directory file" itself. The number of links is something like the number of files in the directory excluding ".." -- or maybe it's the number of directories in the directory. I can never remember exactly what this one represents. AdamM _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
