aws-s3-ls: Display help.
$ aws s3 ls help
try on your machine

The command "aws s3 ls help" refers to using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to list the contents of an Amazon S3 bucket, specifically displaying the help information for the "ls" command.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "aws" is the base command for interacting with AWS services through the CLI.
  • "s3" is the service name for Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), which is a highly scalable storage service provided by AWS.
  • "ls" is a specific command provided by the AWS CLI that lists the objects (files, folders) within a given S3 bucket.
  • "help" is an argument you pass to the "ls" command to request information about how to use it, including providing details about the available options, flags, and examples.

By executing "aws s3 ls help" in the CLI, you will get the help documentation for the "ls" command within the S3 service, which can help you understand and utilize the command effectively.
