The command "tree" is typically used in a command line interface to display the structure of a directory or folder and its subdirectories in a hierarchical tree-like format.
When executed, the "tree" command will list all the directories, subdirectories, and files within the specified directory, indented to represent the parent-child relationships between them. It provides an organized and visual representation of the file system's structure.
The output of the "tree" command typically includes symbols and characters to represent different types of files and directories. For example, a "+" sign might indicate directories, while a "-" sign represents files. The depth of indentation illustrates the hierarchy of directories and subdirectories.
The "tree" command is beneficial for understanding the layout of a directory and its contents, allowing users to quickly identify the structure and relationships between different files and folders. Additionally, it can help with visualizing and analyzing large or complex directory hierarchies.
