ls is registered in the ///Commands directory.

ls is intended to be like the Unix ls in terse mode. Therefore it provides no additional information, such as file size, creation date, or version number; the number of files in a directory is not printed. No recursive listing of subdirectories is performed. Multiple versions of the same file are listed only once. `/' is appended to a subdirectory name. As in the Unix ls program, output is columnated.

If no command line argument is specified, ls will list all files and subdirectories in the current directory.

If a filename is specified, ls will list that file (if it exists); if a filename pattern (ie., a string including one or more asterisks) is specified, ls will list all files matching the pattern; `/' may be included in the pattern as may be `.' (signifying the current directory) or `..' (signifying the parent directory).

If a directory is to be listed, `/' or `/*' must terminate the directory name.

If no files or directories are found, ls produces no output.

-d Causes ls to list only subdirectories. In this mode, `/' is not appended to the output
 subdirectory names.

-s If multiple directories are to be listed by a single ls command, these directories will be
 separated by the name of the subdirectory; `-s' suppresses this function.

-q Slightly quicker output with slightly ragged columnation.

Switches may be intermixed with command line arguments.
