lsd: List all files and directories in long format (permissions, ownership, size, and modification date).

$ lsd -la

try on your machine

The command "lsd -la" is an incorrect command and may produce an error message. The correct command should be "ls -la".

The "ls" command is a common command used in Unix-based systems, including Linux and macOS, to list the files and directories in a specific location. By default, it lists the files and directories in the current directory.

When the "-la" options are added, it modifies the output of the "ls" command. Here's what each flag does:

The "-l" flag (lowercase L) stands for "long format" and produces a detailed listing. It displays additional information about files and directories, such as permissions, ownership, file size, creation/modification dates, and more.
The "-a" flag stands for "all" and includes all files and directories, including those with names starting with a dot (hidden files). By default, the "ls" command does not display hidden files.

Putting them together, "ls -la" will show a detailed listing of all files and directories, including hidden ones, in the current directory.
