ls

List directory contents with flexible formatting, sorting, and filtering.

Quick Start

1. Verify availability: ls --version (GNU) or ls --help
2. List current directory: ls
3. Long listing with hidden files: ls -lah

Intent Router

• references/cheatsheet.md — Common flags, long listing, hidden files, sorting, and output formats
• references/advanced-usage.md — Recursive listing, combining with pipelines, GNU vs BSD differences, scripting patterns
• references/troubleshooting.md — Color issues, broken symlinks, special characters in filenames, cross-platform differences
