here is the output<br>

zding4@avatar:~/apue/midterm$ ls -ls<br>
total 52<br>

2 d-wx--x--x+ 3 zding4 student 3 Oct 16 18:48 test<br>
<br>
<br>
first is that<br>
1+21+3+3+1+2+3+2+17+1+1+2 != 52<br>
<br>
The size of test directory is only 3 but it takes 2 blocks<br>
<br>
Any idea why this happen?<br>
<br>
When I implement ls,<br>
The block number is `st_size/BLOCKSIZE`<br>
And the total is the sum of files' block number.<br>
