cowsay: List all available art types.
$ cowsay -l
try on your machine

The command "cowsay -l" is used to list all the available cow files in the Cowsay program.

Cowsay is a program that generates ASCII art of a cow with a speech bubble containing whatever text you provide. The "-l" option is a flag that stands for "list," and it tells the cowsay command to display a list of all the available cow files that can be used by the program.

A cow file in cowsay contains the ASCII art representation of a cow or other characters that can be used instead of the cow. When you run "cowsay -l," the command will list the names of the available cow files that you can use as an argument with the cowsay command.
