the command "ls -l"

[Yagnesh Gajjar]

the command "ls -l" shows many things along with the file name, time
stamp......etc. we see something similar to
-rwxrwxr--  3 root root 345 sep 20 2004 20:23 am test
brwxrwxr--
crwxrwxr--
drwxrwxr--
here what d, c, b denote. moreover what 3 stands for
same command in the directory dev shows different
-rwxrwxr--  3 root root 13, 345 sep 20 2004 20:23 am test
-rwxrwxr--  3 root root 27, 3456 sep 20 2004 20:23 am test
here what does 13 and 27 show....?
