vdir: Recursively list all files and directories in a specific directory.
$ vdir --recursive ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "vdir --recursive ${path-to-directory}" is used to list the contents of a directory and its subdirectories recursively.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "vdir" is a command-line utility that stands for "verbosely list directory contents". It is similar to the "ls" command but provides more detailed information about the files and directories.

  • "--recursive" is an option or flag that tells the "vdir" command to list the contents of the specified directory and all its subdirectories recursively.

  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder representing the path to the directory you want to list. You need to replace it with the actual directory path, such as /home/user/documents/, /var/www/html/, etc.

By running this command, you will get a detailed listing of all the files and directories within the specified directory and its subdirectories.

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.
