I did some searching but I cannot find documentation on how unix usage works. I know somethings (mostly through trial and error) but for example how do I know that:
/usr/bin/ls  [-aAbcCdeEfFghHilLmnopqrRstuvVx1@] [file]...
Means that you can include more than one option. Ie:
ls -la
Can someone point me to some documentation on what the usage syntax is.
