**`dav list [-altepcR] [-u <date>] <url>`**

Lists child resources of the specified collection. Without any option it
shows only the direct children and hides files beginning with a dot.
The behavior is quite similar to that of the unix tool `ls`.

Options
-------

**`-a`** don't hide files whose names begin with a dot `.`

**`-l`** show additional information for resources

Example:

	--     4.2 KiB  Oct 11  2015  somefile

The first column contains to fields for flags.

1. Field: `d-` indicates a collection
2. Field: `-c` indicates an encrypted resource

Encrypted collections are also possible, but only the collection name is encrypted, the content may be unencrypted.

The second column in the `list -l` output is the resource size. The number has always a suffix (bytes, KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB). To get the exact content-length in bytes you can use the [dav info][1] command.

[1]: ./info.html

The third column is the date of the last modification. The `strftime` format is `%b %d %H:%M` if the year is the current year. Otherwise the format is `%b %d  %Y`.

The last column is the resource name. If the `-R` option is specified, the resource path is shown.

**`-t`** this options only works in combination with `-l` and it adds the resource content type to the output (after the flags)

**`-e`** similar to `-l`, but with 6 flag fields. Currently only the first 4 fields are used. The last two are reserved for future use.

1. Field: `d---` indicates a collection
2. Field: `-c--` indicates an encrypted resource
3. Field: `--l-` indicates a locked resource
4. Field: `---x` indicates an executable resource (executable property with http://apache.org/dav/props/ namespace)

All combinations of these four flags are possible.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption

**`-R`** recursively show all resources in the collection and all child collections

**`-u <date>`** show only resources with a `lastmodified` date after the specified
  date. Uses the HTTP date format.

**Command alias:** ls
