Question

Hello, I'm new to UNIX and I am asked to use the ls –ali / command to review the contents of the / directory. I did that, but then I am asked to review the Linux Filesystem Standard (FSSTD) and document the following directories’ contents, e.g.

|--home

|--lib

   |--mnt

My question is, what command can I use to document the contents of these directories? Could you please show me a screenshot of the results I am supposed to get so I know when I try it on my end that I'm on the right track?

I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks much.

Answer 1

ls -ali / | tree

The above command will show the directories in a tree structure so the output of ls -ali will pass to the tree command

-a show all files
-l means long listing
-i mean to show the inode value of files and directories.

Thanks
