## custom-ls ### Instructions Create the script `custom-ls.sh` which will create an alias `custom-ls`. The alias `custom-ls`: - shows the file details in long list format. - does not list group information. - does not ignore entries starting with `.`. - prints the allocated size of each file, in blocks. - sorts by file size, largest first. Expected behavior: ```console $ custom-ls error: command not found: custom-ls $ ./custom-ls.sh $ custom-ls . total ... 7784 -rw-r--r-- 1 3983261 Dec 17 22:02 .file1 # just an example 3064 -rw-r--r-- 1 1566444 Dec 17 22:12 file2 # just an example $ ``` ### Hints An alias is a shortcut that references a command. An alias replaces a string that invokes a command in the Linux shell with another user-defined string. `alias` command instructs the shell to replace one string with another string while executing the commands. ```console $ alias testcmd="echo 01school" $ testcmd 01school $ alias testcmd='echo 01school' <...> $ ``` > However, this update alias gets removed after closing the working environment. To create and add aliases permanently to your bash shell on Linux and Unix-like systems: 1- Edit the `~/.bashrc`: ```console vi ~/.bashrc # or # nano ~/.bashrc ``` 2- Append your bash alias, For example append: ```console alias testcmd="echo 01school" ``` 3- Save and close the file. 4- Activate alias ```console source ~/.bashrc ``` `unalias` unalias removes each alias name from the current shell execution environment. ```console $ alias testcmd='echo 01school' <...> $ unalias testcmd $ alias <...> $ ``` > You have to use Man or Google to know more about commands flags, in order to solve this exercise! > Google and Man will be your friends! ### References [alias command in linux with examples.](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/alias-command-in-linux-with-examples/) [man ls.](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ls.1.html)
