		ShortDescription: `
Displays the contents of an IPFS or IPNS object(s) at the given path.

The JSON output contains size information. For files, the child size
is the total size of the file contents. For directories, the child
size is the IPFS link size.

This functionality is deprecated, and will be removed in future versions. If
possible, please use 'ipfs ls' instead.

		LongDescription: `
Displays the contents of an IPFS or IPNS object(s) at the given path.

The JSON output contains size information. For files, the child size
is the total size of the file contents. For directories, the child
size is the IPFS link size.

The path can be a prefixless ref; in this case, we assume it to be an
/ipfs ref and not /ipns.

Example:

    > ipfs file ls QmW2WQi7j6c7UgJTarActp7tDNikE4B2qXtFCfLPdsgaTQ
    cat.jpg
    > ipfs file ls /ipfs/QmW2WQi7j6c7UgJTarActp7tDNikE4B2qXtFCfLPdsgaTQ
    cat.jpg

This functionality is deprecated, and will be removed in future versions. If
possible, please use 'ipfs ls' instead.
