Human-readable ls output under AIX?

Question

How can I get human-readable ls output under AIX? There is no -h parameter

Answer 1

Might I suggest ls -ls?

That will provide the files sizes in KB instead of the default blocks.

Ex:

36 -rw-r--r--    1 oracle   dba           33875 Feb  2 2011  step2.log
32 -rw-r--r--    1 oracle   dba           30308 Feb  2 2011  step2.sql

Answer 2

I can't imagine this:

find -maxdepth 1 -ls

being the best solution, but I don't have an AIX. And do you have gnu-find on AIX? If not - I don't know how the output of other finds looks like.

This is gnu-find:

If you don't have any other option, an alias might be useful.
