lsd: List files and directories, one per line.
$ lsd -1
try on your machine

The command "lsd -1" is typically used in a Unix-like operating system or shell environment to list directories in a specific format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "lsd" is the command itself, short for "list directory."
  • "-1" is an option or flag that is passed to the "ls" command. It specifies that the directory listing should only be displayed in a single-column format, with each entry on a new line.

By executing the "lsd -1" command, you will see the contents of the current directory listed one at a time in a single column, making it easier to read when dealing with a large number of files or directories.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
