Use
the ls -ld
to display detailed information about a directory, but not its contents.
Examples
In this example, the
user displays the long (detailed) listing for files in the snoopy
directory, a subdirectory of the current directory.
| $ cd |
| $ ls -l
snoopy |
| total 6 |
drwxr-xr-x
2 charles other 512 dec 12 11:10 Hero
drwxr-xr-x 2 charles
other 512 mar 11 11:10 minerals
drwxr-xr-x
2 charles other 512 mar 11 11:10 rocks |
| $ |
In the next example,
the user displays information about only the directories stored
under the snoopy directory.
$ ls -ld snoopy
drwxr-xr-x 5 charles other 512 dec 4 13:43 snoopy
$
This example uses the
-R
option
to display the contents of the snoopy directory and all its subdirectories.
Example
| $ ls -R
snoopy |
| file1 file2
file3 |
| $ |
