Answer Posted / manasi mishra
for normal file in the ls -l listing there is a '-' as
first character like '-rw-r--r- '.
-rw-r--r-- 1 batch sybase 0 Dec 4 14:50 test1
This identifies it as normal file.
But for device files , they are saved as character or else
blocks . So the first letter is 'c' for character , and 'b'
for blocks.
