Hi can somebody deposit that info in the man page for ls { ls dir List the content of the current directory. The command dir is an alias to ls so this two commands do exactly the same thing. The file listing is normally color-coded: dark blue= directories, light grey = regular files, green = executable files, magenta = graphics files, red = compressed (zipped) files, light blue = symolic links, yellow = device files, brown = FIFO ("First-In First-Out" named pipes). } thanks :)
