The command "ls -1" is used to list all files and directories in a single column format in the current directory.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "ls" stands for "list" and is a command used to display the contents of a directory.
- "-1" is an option or flag used with the ls command. In this case, it signifies that the output should be displayed in a single column format.
When you execute "ls -1" in the terminal, it will print each file and directory name on a separate line, allowing for easy reading and navigation of the contents in the current directory.
