ls

Similar to the "dir" command in DOS, displays a list of the contents of a directory.

• ls -a - Displays all files, including hidden ones.
• ls -l - Uses a long listing format (more detail).

These can be put together, e.g. ls -la.

Another fine option is --color which will display the directory listing in colour

• ls --color -la a very good combination
