The ls command is used to list the contents of a directory in Linux. When you run ls, it displays the names of files and directories in the current directory. By default, the output is shown in alphabetical order.
You can also use various options with ls to modify its behavior:
ls -l: Provides a long format listing with details such as file permissions, owner, size, and modification date.ls -a: Shows all files, including hidden files (those starting with a dot).ls -la: Combines both options to show a detailed listing of all files, including hidden ones.ls <directory>: Lists the contents of a specified directory instead of the current one.
