vdir: List including hidden files (starting with a dot).
$ vdir -a
try on your machine

The "vdir -a" command is used to list all files and directories in the current directory, including hidden files and directories.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "vdir" stands for "verbose directory list". It is a command used for listing files and directories in a more detailed and human-readable format.
  • "-a" is an option that is used to include all files and directories, including those that are hidden. Hidden files and directories are usually prefixed with a dot (e.g., .git, .bashrc).

So, when you run the "vdir -a" command, it will display a list of all files and directories, including the hidden ones, in a detailed format.

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.
