The following ``ls`` command lists all of the bucket owned by the user. In this example, the user owns the buckets
``mybucket`` and ``mybucket2``. The timestamp is the date the bucket was created, shown in your machine's time
zone. Note if ``s3://`` is used for the path argument ``<S3Uri>``, it will list all of the buckets as well::
aws s3 ls
Output::
2013-07-11 17:08:50 mybucket
2013-07-24 14:55:44 mybucket2
The following ``ls`` command lists objects and common prefixes under a specified bucket and prefix. In this example, the
user owns the bucket ``mybucket`` with the objects ``test.txt`` and ``somePrefix/test.txt``. The ``LastWriteTime`` and
``Length`` are arbitrary. Note that since the ``ls`` command has no interaction with the local filesystem, the ``s3://``
URI scheme is not required to resolve ambiguity and may be omitted::
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket
Output::
PRE somePrefix/
2013-07-25 17:06:27 88 test.txt
The following ``ls`` command lists objects and common prefixes under a specified bucket and prefix. However, there are
no objects nor common prefixes under the specified bucket and prefix::
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket/noExistPrefix
Output::
None
The following ``ls`` command will recursively list objects in a bucket. Rather than showing ``PRE dirname/`` in the
output, all the content in a bucket will be listed in order::
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket --recursive
Output::
2013-09-02 21:37:53 10 a.txt
2013-09-02 21:37:53 2863288 foo.zip
2013-09-02 21:32:57 23 foo/bar/.baz/a
2013-09-02 21:32:58 41 foo/bar/.baz/b
2013-09-02 21:32:57 281 foo/bar/.baz/c

2013-09-02 21:32:57 896 foo/bar/.baz/hooks/bar
2013-09-02 21:32:57 189 foo/bar/.baz/hooks/foo
2013-09-02 21:32:57 398 z.txt
The following ``ls`` command demonstrates the same command using the --human-readable
and --summarize options. --human-readable displays file size in
Bytes/MiB/KiB/GiB/TiB/PiB/EiB. --summarize displays the total number of objects
and total size at the end of the result listing::
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket --recursive --human-readable --summarize
Output::
2013-09-02 21:37:53 10 Bytes a.txt
2013-09-02 21:37:53 2.9 MiB foo.zip
2013-09-02 21:32:57 23 Bytes foo/bar/.baz/a

Total Objects: 10
Total Size: 2.9 MiB
**Listing from an S3 access point**
The following ``ls`` command list objects from access point (``myaccesspoint``)::
aws s3 ls s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/
Output::
PRE somePrefix/
