: This is the abbreviation for "list" and it is used to list the contents of an S3 bucket.--recursive
: This option is used to list all objects in a bucket and its subdirectories recursively. Without this option, only the top-level objects would be listed.${bucket_name}
: This is a placeholder variable which should be replaced with the actual name of the S3 bucket you want to list the contents of.${path-to-directory}
: This is a placeholder variable for the path to a specific directory (optional) within the bucket. If you want to list the contents of the entire bucket, you can leave this part empty.${prefix}
: This is a placeholder variable for an optional prefix or filter to list objects with specific key names. If no prefix is provided, all objects in the specified bucket (and directory, if provided) are listed.

, ${path-to-directory}
, ${prefix}
) with actual values relevant to your scenario.
