2) for listing all .c files use :
ls *.c
3) for listing all .c files starting with a use :
ls a*.c
- Some common options are :
i) -a –all –> Do not ignore enteries starting with .
Use this to view swap or temporary files.
ii) -l –> long listing format
iii) -r –) Reverse order sort (by name) and list
iv) -s –size –> Print allocated size of each file in blocks
v) -S –> Sort by file size
vi) -t –> Sort by modification time, newest first
vii) -U –> Do not sort; list enteries in directory order
viii) -X –> Sort alphabetically by entry extension.
ix) -F –> to distinguish files from directories (Puts / in directory and * with executable files)
x) -R –> It shows files that are contained in directory. It continued to dirrectory in a directory and so on.
