[cs631apue] ls -s

[Tyler Romeo]

As Julian mentioned previously, the default of ls(1) is to display blocks of 1 KiB, whereas stat(2) always returns 512 B blocks. This accounts for the difference you are seeing.

Subject:  [cs631apue] ls -s  

When I execute ls -s on LINUX-Lab, the blocks value seems incorrect.  
stat command shows blocks should be 37, but ls -s print 19.  
What is wrong?
