 Unix Tip #4356- February 13, 2025
 
DIR ALIAS REPRISE  
  
The following alias will list just  
the directories in a directory and  
not other ordinary files. It will  
list a directory as a directory even  
if the directory is a symbolic link.  
  
alias dir='ls -Lla|grep ^d'  
  
Without the capital "L" in this alias  
the alias will not list directories  
that are symbolic links.
