The ls(1) command has a lot of options (Look at the man page synopsis!). So much so, that the most recent option added in DragonFly is “_”. That’s to show nanotime as part of the -l output. This will be most useful when you have multiple files being created within the same second of time, and you want to see which came first.

Is my math right in that there 1,000,000,000 nanosecond in 1 second?
If so, that’s a lot of “_”s
