-h not working for 'ls' command in Sun SPARC

Question

I was trying this command for listing files in human readable form:

$ ls -lh                                                                                                                                         
ls: illegal option -- h
usage: ls -1RaAdCxmnlogrtucpFbqisfL [files]

Is there a way to enable it?

I am using Sun SPARC:

$ uname -a

Probably not whilst still using Solaris 8, you'll probably need to upgrade to get that functionality.

The GNU version of ls can be found in the coreutils package at Sun Freeware.

+1, the dependency list is quite short too. – user9517 Sep 15 '11 at 08:15
