For example, try this: ls -dils ./* (Because ls sorts its output, as mentioned below, an even better comparison would be to many separate ls -dils ./ filename commands, one for each filename.) With those particular files, the output is the same with and without -d. However, find can find directories.
3 My Ubuntu seems a bit weird. cd and mkdir work fine, but instructions other than ls and rm do not. I'm not sure what the problem is. Isn't there another way to initialize this path? I have solved the problem where the terminal was not working before, but this time the instruction was not executed and I was unable to proceed with my experiment.

I have a folder I can cd into by simply using cd /path. However, when I use ls, the folder doesn't show up, and it's not hidden, meaning that ls -a doesn't make it appear, either. What could accoun...
I am ignorant as to whether ls is capable of displaying a filetype column. Doing a quick online search and searching the man did not reveal such a capability. Is it capable of doing this? Clarifi...
ls has no -exec option. ls will work with xargs, but not with xargs -0 because ls has no option for NULL delimited output. That is also why you should not use ls with pipes at all (file names are allowed to have newlines). For mv, -t is target directory, while for 7z it is archive type, why do you think it should work?
1 On my Ubuntu 20.04 machine with multiple external hard drives connected via a 16-port USB 3.0 hub, all these drives are mounted into their own directories in a common parent directory /mnt/data. For example, one of the drives is mounted at /mnt/data/drive001. Sometimes, the terminal is unresponsive when running the commands df or ls in /mnt/data.
Parsing ls is a discouraged activity generally though. ls -lrt| tail -4| tr -s ' '| cut -d ' ' -f6-| tac The reverse ordering of ls results, with the -r option, is used to avoid the 'Total' line output by the -l option of ls, and tac is used at the end to reorder the results after trimming away the unwanted output.
