Listing files

ls lists directory entries. With no path it lists the current directory.

lsls -lls -lals -lhls -ltls -lSls -R /path

Common options:

• -l uses the long format, including permissions, owner, group, size and modification time.
• -a includes hidden entries whose names begin with ..
• -h makes sizes human-readable when used with -l.
• -t sorts by modification time, newest first.
• -S sorts by file size, largest first.
• -r reverses the selected sort order.
• -R recursively lists subdirectories.

pwd prints the absolute path of your current working directory. tree, if installed, displays a directory hierarchy visually.
