# List aliases
The list.aliases.sh
file creates helpful shortcut aliases for listing files
and directories.
The List aliases are a collection of aliases that allow you to interact with
the ls
command in a more interactive way in order to display the content of a
directory.
For each operand that names a file of a type other than directory, ls
displays
its name as well as any requested, associated information. For each operand
that names a file of type directory, ls
displays the names of files contained
within that directory, as well as any requested, associated information.
# ls
