It lists the directories (folders) only in a given path, and also lists the file permissions and file sizes for those folders.
The 'ls' command is the same in Linux and Unix systems. System Administrators may set up an alias that has the -FC or other options but the command itself with no other parameters (ls) is just the 'ls' command.
The LS command: ls folder Type man ls for more details.
ls
ls
cd ls
Using man ls will open the manual page for the ls command. The ls command lists the files and folders in the current directory.
In Linux: ls In Windows: dir
Type the following command# ls -l
It's name begin with a full stop, like .profile or .bash_history(ls .* or ls -a shows it nevertheless)
ls will list the contents of a directory.
The command "man ls" will tell you about the 'ls' command. The last part will be ignored because it isn't part of the manual entry for the 'ls' command.The command as you can given it is most likely because you want to know what will happen when you issue the 'ls abcdat' command in Linux. The answer is that it will list out the name (in a short form) of the file or directory abcdat if it exists in your current working directory.
In a Linux (I use Ubuntu) terminal, type ls to print a list of directories on the screen.Use man ls for the manual page.
