xmlstarlet: List a given directory as XML (omit argument to list current directory).
$ xmlstarlet ls ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command uses the XMLStarlet tool to list the files in a specified directory. Here is a breakdown of the command: - xmlstarlet is the name of the command-line tool being executed.

  • ls is the subcommand used to list the files in the directory.
  • ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to list. To use the command, you need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory you want to list. For example, if you want to list the files in the /home/user/xmlfiles directory, you would write: ``` xmlstarlet ls /home/user/xmlfiles
