limo is a replacement for ls with some knobs on.
By default, it is installed as both limo and as li. It
tries to give far more control over the output format than
ls and has simpler and more straightforward (albeit more
verbose) options. It also has the -l and -s options which
behave similarly to those of ls. It is probably most
suited to system administrators who need to know file
attributes very precisely, and to script writers, who wish
to avoid parsing ls output.
