lsd: List all files and directories with trailing `/` added to directory names.
$ lsd -F
try on your machine
The command "lsd -F" is used to list directories and files in a directory. Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "lsd" stands for 'list directory' and is a command used in Unix-like operating systems (e.g., Linux) to display the contents of a directory.
- The option "-F" is used to add additional information or symbols to the listing of directories and files. Specifically, it appends certain characters to the names, indicating the type of each entry.
- A '/' character is added to the end of directories' names to differentiate them from regular files.
- An '*' character is added to the end of executable files' names.
- A '|' character is added to the end of special files' names.
- An '=' character is added to the end of socket files' names.
- A '@' character is added to the end of symbolic links' names.
- A '%' character is added to the end of whiteout files' names (used in some file systems).
By using the "lsd -F" command, you will see a detailed list of directories and files in the current directory, with the additional characters indicating their types.
