ls -l does show bytes ls -hl does convert to better readable values. One byte more likely is a space-sign more. Perhaps the 4572 bytes were generated by --update-cache and one byte more, when you redirected stdout. You are aware that the ">" does redirect the standard output? Try this: [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ touch 1.txt 2.txt [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ ls 1.txt 2.txt [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ ls > 3.txt [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ ls 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ cat 3.txt 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt So when you used --update-cache the executable generated the file directly, while ">" redirected the output and a space or whatever at the beginning or end might cause one byte more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
