Sorry, I thought I had - I tried with the ls comment above. But let me provide an example to try to help!
In Linux, using ls to list files ... here is a listing in "non-human readable" format,
rmorris@linuxServer:/bin$ ls -alF b*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1037528 Jun 24 10:44 bash*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 520992 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 249464 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-calc-size*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 249464 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-debug-tree*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 245368 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-find-root*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 270136 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-image*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 249464 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-map-logical*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 253816 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-show-super*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 249464 Jan 19 17:11 btrfstune*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 245368 Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-zero-log*

-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 31288 May 20 2015 bzcat*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 20 2015 bzcmp -> bzdiff*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2140 May 20 2015 bzdiff*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3642 May 20 2015 bzgrep*
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 31288 May 20 2015 bzip2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14616 May 20 2015 bzip2recover*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 20 2015 bzless -> bzmore*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1297 May 20 2015 bzmore*
And now, with the -h option, for "human readable",
rmorris@linuxServer:/bin$ ls -alF -h b*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1014K Jun 24 10:44 bash*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 509K Jan 19 17:11 btrfs*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 244K Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-debug-tree*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 248K Jan 19 17:11 btrfs-show-super*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 244K Jan 19 17:11 btrfstune*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.1K May 20 2015 bzdiff*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 20 2015 bzegrep -> bzgrep*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.8K May 20 2015 bzexe*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 20 2015 bzless -> bzmore*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.3K May 20 2015 bzmore*
Does this make more sense now? I have actually written code before to do such a thing - can provide a reference if that helps.
Thanks!
