<< [Unix: from runcom files on the CTSS system 1962-63, via the startup script /etc/rc] Script file containing startup instructions for an application program (or an entire operating system), usually a text file containing commands of the sort that might have been invoked manually once the system was running but are to be executed automatically each time the system starts up. >> dipankar das On Monday 16 February 2004 16:42, dipankar das wrote: > 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.
