For example, if you are under root directory (/) and you use Linux ls command without any option, then you can list the files under root directory ls -laĭrwxr-xr-x 17 kali kali 4096 Sep 19 08:52. When you use ls option without any parameter, you can list the files within the current directory. You can use ls command without any parameter. In another lesson, we have talked about user listing in Linux. In this lesson, we will talk about these options. With different options, we can do this listing in different variations. We use ls command in Linux to list files. So, why we use linux ls command? What are Linux ls options? In this lesson, we will learn Linux ls options one by one.įirstly, let’s answer the first question, why we use Linux ls command. So, we will use linux ls command very often. In Linux Course and in real life works, we will work on files too much.
