Find newest file in folder via the terminal (seconds apart)

Question

I am trying to extract the newest file in folder. I tried this:

ls -1t | head -1

But the problem is, that this command doesn't seem to differentiate in which second the file was created - if multiple files were created in the the same, this command just give the first file in this minute.

Is there a way to make this command more precise?

您应该在选项中添加T参数来执行此操作：

ls -1tT | head -1

添加l参数时查看输出：

ls -tTl
