The @var{blocks} computed counts each hard link separately;
this is arguably a deficiency.

@cindex permissions, output by @command{ls}
The file mode bits listed are similar to symbolic mode specifications
(@pxref{Symbolic Modes}). But @command{ls} combines multiple bits into the
third character of each set of permissions as follows:
+
@table @samp
@item s
If the setuid or setgid bit and the corresponding executable bit
@opindex --indicator-style
Append a character indicator with style @var{word} to entry names,
as follows:
+
@table @samp
@item none
Do not append any character indicator; this is the default.
Use style @var{word} to quote file names and other strings that may
contain arbitrary characters. The @var{word} should
be one of the following:
+
@table @samp
@item literal
Output strings as-is; this is the same as the @option{-N} or
Only regular files may be sparse.
The @var{when} value can be one of the following:
+
@table @samp
@item auto
The default behavior: if the input file is sparse, attempt to make
