| Whats the difference between the above ls commands.

/usr/bin/ls & /usr/ucb/ls come with the OS. The man page explains
the differences (/usr/bin uses the SysV flags, /usr/ucb uses the ucb
flags - they're not compatible, for instance -g on /usr/ucb/ls means
"add group name to -l format", while on /usr/bin/ls it means "remove
group name from -l format").

/usr/local/bin/ls does not come with the OS, so it's whatever you've
installed locally (likely GNU ls).
