question.

[NITEEN DAMLE]

Hi !

I am a novice to the UNIX and I hv a question which u people might be able
to answer.
Last night I was browsing through the directories using ls command with -l
option. In dev directory I found letters s, c, b for some of the names in place
of d.
I want to know what these letters stand for.
Only I know that d means directory.
                 l   "    link.      [am I correct? ] 
		 -   "    file.

Regds
