The ls command in Linux is used to list the contents of directories. It displays files and subdirectories within the specified directory. By default, it shows the names of the files and directories in the current working directory. You can also use various options with ls to modify its output, such as displaying detailed information about files or including hidden files.
For example:
lslists files and directories.ls -lprovides a long format listing with details like permissions, owner, size, and modification date.ls -aincludes hidden files (those starting with a dot).
You can combine options, like ls -la, to see a detailed list that includes hidden files.
