I know about l (link) and d (directory) in the first column of the ls -la output.

Very recently I have seen an p. What does it stand for?

Example (I ommited some lines of the output as they have guid-like contents):

user@user-ThinkPad-T440s:~/.zoom/data$ ls -latr
[......]
prw-r--r-- 1 user user      0 Mai  2  2020 com.zoom.ipc.assistantapp__res

p stands for (named) Pipe - see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(Linux)
