vdir: List files and directories in the current directory, one per line, with details.
$ vdir
try on your machine

The command "vdir" is used to display a detailed list of files and directories in the current directory. It is similar to the "dir" command in Windows or "ls -l" command in Unix/Linux systems.

When executed, "vdir" displays the following information for each file/directory:

  • Permissions: This section shows the read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, group, and others.
  • Size: This represents the size of the file or directory.
  • Date and Time: This indicates the last modification date and time of the file or directory.
  • Name: This shows the name of the file or directory.

This command is often used when a more detailed view of the files and directories is needed, such as when reviewing permissions, checking file sizes, or sorting files by modification date.
