ls.exe is a freeware console utility that can display exhaustive information on DACLs/SACLs, reparse points, shortcuts, hard links, hidden streams, encryption, compaction, and offline status.

Download msls170.exe and extract the files to a folder in your Path. This GNU/Linux ls directory information clone can display exhaustive information on DACLs/SACLs, reparse points, shortcuts, hard links, hidden streams, encryption, compaction, and offline status.

When I type ls --help, I receive:

Usage: ls \[OPTION\]... \[FILE\]...
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default).

By default, color is not used to distinguish types of files.  This is
equivalent to using --color=none.  Using the --color option without an
argument is equivalent to --color=always.  When using --color=auto, color
codes are generated only if the output is a display console.

Use the environment variable LS_OPTIONS to set default options.
Example: -bhAC --more --color=auto --recent --streams
