Unix ls command show full path when using options

Question

I often use this list command in Unix  AIX   KSH    ls -Artl  It displays the files as this   -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser mygroup   0 Apr  2 11 59 test1 txt -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser mygroup   0 Apr  2 11 59 test2 txt  I would like to modify the command such a way that the full path of the file is displayed  For example    -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser mygroup   0 Apr  2 11 59  usr test1 txt -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser mygroup   0 Apr  2 11 59  usr test2 txt  Any ideas   I found several resolution methods using pwd or find but - as far as I see - this does not work work if I want to keep the ls options

You can combine the find command and the ls command  Use the path     and selector     to narrow down the files you re after  Surround the find command in back quotes  The argument to -name is doublequote star doublequote in case you can t read it   ls -lart  find   -type f -name

What about this trick     ls -lrt -d -1  PWD         OR  ls -lrt -d -1  PWD     I think this has problems with empty directories but if another poster has a tweak I ll update my answer  Also  you may already know this but this is probably be a good candidate for an alias given it s lengthiness     update  added some tweaks based on comments  thanks guys    update  as pointed out by the comments you may need to tweek the matcher expressions depending on the shell  bash vs zsh   I ve re-added my older command for reference
