Something annoying about ls -l command is it shows only hour and minute for a file(like 08:30). How can I see the second portion(like 08:30:44)?
man 1 ls and search for 'second' does not give any clue.

Does your version of ls support the --time-style option? If so:
ls -la --time-style=full-iso blah
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-11-08 18:02:08.954092000 -0700 blah

The more simple way is:
ls --full-time
which is equal to
ls -l --time-style=full-iso
If you want to show entries as hidden files starting with ., add -a:
ls --full-time -a

What is the difference between --time-style=full and --time-style=full-iso? – neverMind9 – 2019-06-10T14:50:55.990

For OS X, it looks like the best you get is:
ls -l -T
From the ls(1) manpage on 10.10.5:
-T When used with the -l (lowercase letter ``ell'') option, display complete time information for the file, including month, day, hour, minute, second, and year.

3Or like this: ls -lT. – jox – 2017-06-08T21:19:36.080
this also works in Windows/Ubuntu – Michael – 2017-07-22T17:11:38.750

An alternative to the approved answer - you can use a custom format like in the date command if "--time-style=full-iso" output is too detailed for you:
ls -l --time-style=+"%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S" blah
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 03 2014 01:13:01 blah

4Which version of GNU coreutils do you use? With 8.20 I don't have this parameter. – sebix – 2014-11-29T11:36:00.507
2Version please :) – hakre – 2015-08-06T07:31:39.553
1When using GNU coreutils 8.22 ls there is no -e option. I suspect the version of ls you have is Darwin based. – Elijah Lynn – 2016-08-21T11:09:38.717
1BusyBox. Embedded Linuxes. Yes. Try -e if these other (GNU based) flags fail. – Steven Lu – 2017-01-05T17:04:11.193

For FreeBSD, it would be:
ls -la -D %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S

1or "ls -ale" (only this worked for me on an older linux distro) – mBardos – 2016-07-20T13:02:39.253
11Mac OSX equivalent:
ls -lT– MarkHu – 2017-01-25T00:49:41.300What is the difference between
--time-style=fulland--time-style=full-iso? – neverMind9 – 2019-06-10T14:51:03.4706Yes, thanks, even on a old Mandrake Linux 10.0 from year 2005. --full-time OK as well. – Jimm Chen – 2011-11-09T02:08:57.000
