How does humanize decide which column to work on? If it only works on "ls -l", then it's
not useful if I want other
columns as well.
Right. You'd have to change it. Recall that this was just an
example.
Maybe it could just humanize any large number it
found, but you
probably don't want to "humanize" the inode number or filename.
Yes, this is exactly the scenario I described in an earlier mail
message, where I called it
$ ls -l | commafy 5
