When used in multicolumn output, the number of blocks precedes the file name in each column. The number of indirect blocks in a file is filesystem dependent.<BR /><BR /><BR />Paula Sat, 14 Feb 2004 10:21:59 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/quot-total-quot-in-the-output-of-ll-command/m-p/3192334#M165020 Paula J Frazer-Campbell 2004-02-14T10:21:59Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/quot-total-quot-in-the-output-of-ll-command/m-p/3192335#M165021 Hi Fredric,<BR /><BR />It's the total number of blocks used by this directory.
