Is there a parameter to ls to force it output data in JSON format?
ls -json
[
{"name":"file1", "date":"2014-02-13 15:22:47.004854200 +0700", "size":132017},
{"name":"file2", "date":"2014-02-13 15:09:21.004826640 +0700", "size":372323}
]

`man ls` would suggest that there is no such option. That said, you could spin a script to do it. Did you have any specific problems while attempting to do it? – devnull Feb 16 '14 at 05:02

`ls --help`, `man ls` and check – Patrick Evans Feb 16 '14 at 05:02

`info coreutils 'ls invocation'` seem to provide more data than `man`, so I assume that maybe neither is complete – exebook Feb 16 '14 at 05:07

@exebook Info pages _usually_ provide more information that manpages. – devnull Feb 16 '14 at 06:00
