If ls –E is used in conjunction with –H, then the four characters will follow the four
characters normally associated with ls –E:
ls -EH
-rwxr-xr-x ap-l bin 1 ROOT SYS1 101 Mar 12 19:21 foo

-rwxr--r-- fff--- 1 ROOT SYS1 640 Mar 12 19:33 abc
To display information about a directory from a symbolic link to the directory, either
add a trailing slash to the symbolic link name, or use the -L option. For example, if
the /etc directory has been converted into a symbolic link, issuing an ls on /etc
without a trailing slash will give you the following information:
> ls -l /etc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 BPXROOT BIN 12 Oct 18 19:46 /etc -> $SYSNAME/etc
However, if you add the trailing slash, the following information about /etc will be
displayed:
> ls /etc/

Printsrv csh.login ldap recover yyparse.c

The same information is displayed when the -L option is used:
ls -L /etc
