Description

The reported file size in colorls --long is different (maybe truncated) than what ls -lh reports, which could be misleading.

colorls version 1.4.6

  • Relevant Issues : (none)
  • Relevant PRs : (none)
  • Type of issue : Bug in existing feature

For example:

$> ls -l CUMINDEX.TAB
-rw-r--r--  1 rbeyer  staff  3163642328 Aug  8  2023 CUMINDEX.TAB

$> ls -lh CUMINDEX.TAB
-rw-r--r--  1 rbeyer  staff   2.9G Aug  8  2023 CUMINDEX.TAB

$> colorls --long CUMINDEX.TAB
   rw-r--r--   1   rbeyer   staff      2 GiB   Tue Aug  8 10:51:25 2023    CUMINDEX.TAB

colorls is reporting that this file is only 2 GiB, while ls is reporting 2.9 GB, which is almost a gigabyte different!
