Hello Friends

Can you help me with info on two different things:

1. `man ls` shows '-d' or '--diretory' as an option 
that displays the diretory entries without diplaying 
their contents recursively. 
But when i am entering the command, "ls -d", 
say in my ~, or any other directory for that matter, 
it is showing just the current directory '.' as the only entry. 
And when i am entering "ls -d *", 
bash is showing all the entries, 
files and diretories alike. 
The same thing is happening 
when i am giving the command, 
say, "ls -d /usr" or 'ls -d /usr/' or even 'ls -d /usr/*'. 
Where i am going wrong?

2. Is the 'rc' as in bashrc or any *rc an acronym? 
It rings in me that somwhere i heard something 
like that. If it is an acronym, what does it stand for?

With Regards
dipankar das
