Two ls options you might not have used
ls has a
1 | --format |
option that allows a number of various formatting displays. Some, like
1 | -l |
, you have probably used often. And some don’t seem all that useful, like
1 | -x |
. But here are two I did not know and now like:
-
1-1
That’s the numeral one. It shows single column output, so you can have the readability of
1-l, without the extra info if you don’t need it:
-
1-m
This displays comma-separated output:
Useful for scripting and fast .csv creation!
